Abstract

This paper feature results of scientific research that is associated with the improvement of interaction conditions of interactive products. Efficiency of use of these products remains in close correlation with efficient performance of decision making processes. Available information resources assist the user in the effective use of electronic devices only when, at the same time, mechanisms of adaptation of information to the real needs and learning capabilities of the individual user in the information environment are being designed. This multi-dimensional space in which cognitive processes are carried out, in regard to processing and transferring information, is nowadays characterized by excessive amounts of information, also called information noise. However, in the use of interactive products, the common phenomenon of the so-called information gap, which is the difference between relevant information and the collection of information became available in the system. The result of designing interactive products targeted at eliminating this discrepancy is that the user achieve goals with satisfaction, in less time and without frustration and anxiety, which would otherwise occur as a result of emotional and cognitive dissonance.
