This question's explanation and your answers so far.
問 68
Incorrectア
NUI (Natural User Interface) refers to a type of interface that can be operated directly through natural human actions such as touch, gestures, and voice. It does not denote the “perceivable cue” itself that suggests how to operate something, so it is incorrect.
Incorrectイ
A wizard is an interactive operation-support feature that lets users complete tasks such as setup and installation step by step by following on-screen guidance. It is not a concept that induces behavior through cues such as shape, so it is incorrect.
- ウ
正解 The correct answer is ウ “Signifier.” A signifier is a visible (perceivable) cue that lets users perceive the appropriate action, telling them “this is where and how you should operate it.” Just as the shape of a doorknob (turn, push, pull) naturally suggests how to open or close it, the shape or appearance of an object itself becomes a sign of how to operate it. The stem’s phrase, “a perceivable cue that induces appropriate human behavior,” corresponds exactly to this definition, so ウ is correct.
Incorrectエ
Multi-touch refers to an input method or technology that allows operations such as zooming in, zooming out, and rotating by touching the screen with multiple fingers at the same time. It is not the information-design concept of a perceivable cue that suggests appropriate behavior, so it is incorrect.
- Signifier = a “visible cue” that lets users perceive the correct way to operate something and the appropriate behavior (an information-design term coined by Donald Norman).
- Distinguishing similar terms: NUI = a method of operating through natural actions; Wizard = an interactive feature that guides users through steps; Multi-touch = an input technology using multiple fingers.
