These are inherent qualities of the environment that do not take into account action capabilities of organisms, and which we can only perceive through consistent perception.
What are invariants?

What is general factor intelligence?
A problem with intelligence testing through standardized tests is that repeated testing can make individuals appear smarter because they have learned how to take the test, or that they have engaged in this.

What is intelligence?
Invariants and affordances require this aspect of the perceiving organism to be functioning properly in order for them to be accurately perceived.
What is action capability?

What is affordance?
Tasks which are harder because we need to attend to more things (or avoid attending to more things) are said to be higher in this quality.
What is cognitive load?
Gibson argued that research methods done in laboratories and in controlled circumstances lack this essential quality which reflects the real world.
