Human Computer Interaction

Subject : engineering
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.

16. 1.run out of metaphors 2.mixed metaphors 3.carry connotations and association






17. Menu constraints can help the user to form the proper intentions and specify the proper action sequence - provide a context to evaluate the output language






18. 1.require knowledge of the task domain - 2.may require tedious clarification dialogues - 3.complex system development






19. 1.low memory requirements 2. self- explanatory 3.can gather a great deal of information in little space 4.present a context for input information






20. Observation - elicitation






21. 1.not self- explanatory 2.inefficient use of screen real estate 3.high graphical system requirements






22. They can be difficult to create f the target audience is international - Having too many personas will make the work difficult - There is a risk of incorporating unsupported designer assumption






23. 1.They facilitate the development of design procedures 2.They help in finding ways to talk about design 3.They create project management






24. User interface independence 1.They separate interface design from internals 2.They enable multiple user interface strategies 3. They enable multiple platform support 4. They establish the role of the user interface architect 5. They enforce standards






25. Goals - Execution - World - Evaluation






26. We respond first to the intensity of a stimulus and only then do we begin to process its meaning






27. 1.rapid and inflexible navigation 2.inefficient for large menu navigation 3.inefficient use of screen real estate 4. slow for expert






28. What it will look like - What components it will require - How the screens will be laid out






29. They are not interactive - They cannot be used to calculate response timings - They do not deal with interface issues such as color or font size






30. 1.creating descriptions of the people who do the work 2.describing the different goals involved in the work 3.documenting the work step by step 4.creating different stories about how the various aspects of the work are done 5.creating charts and diag






31. 1. speech recognition 2. semantic - grammar issues - vague meanings - contradictory statement






32. 1.easy to learn2.low memory requirements 3.easy to undo 4.immediate feedback to user actions 5.enable user to use spatial cues 6.easy for beginner






33. They can be used early and often - They are inexpensive and easy to create - They make design idea visual - No special knowledge is required - all team members can create them






34. Structuring the information space - Creating of alternative solutions - Determining which design concept to purse






35. Menu options create small articulatory distance
