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.

27. They allow an easy way to explore the problem space - They provide a way to create clusters of related elements - They provide a graphical view of the problem space - They resonate with the ways in which people process information






28. They are quick and easy to perform - They can be done before any preliminary designs have been made - They will let you know how people organize information - They will expose underlying structures






29. They require knowledge of problem space - They can lead beyond the problem space - There is no formal semantics for defining symbol meaning






30. 1.language is ambiguous 2.meaning depends on context 3.dependent on visual cues






31. Primary - secondary - facilitator - indirect






32. 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






33. Use multiple independent evaluators - Use observer to record evaluator - Go through interface several times - Compare interaction against list of heuristics - Use heuristics specific to design - List heuristic problems and how the heuristic is violat
