Test your basic knowledge |

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.

7. They make it possible to try out ideas very early - They make it possible to test - revise - test - revise...They engage end users -- managers and customers






8. Low- fidelity prototypes - Evaluations - Wireframes - Functional prototypes






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






10. 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

14. Articulatory distance is large because we are presented with the command prompt - no indication of functionality






15. 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






16. Progressive Disclosure - Constraints






17. 1. suitable for repetitive tasks 2. sdvantageous for expert users 3.offer direct access to system functionality 4.efficient and powerful 5.not encumbered with graphic controls - low visual load - not taxing on system resource 6. scriptable






18. 1.low memory requirement 2. self- explanatory 3. simple linear presentation 4.easy for beginner






19. Establishing the goal - Forming the intention - Specifying the action sequence - Execute the action sequence - Perceiving the world state - Interpreting the perception - Evaluate the interpretation






20. 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






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






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






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






24. 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






25. 1.command line 2.menu- based interface 3.form fill- in 4.question and answers 5.direct manipulation 6.metaphors 7.web navigation 8.3d environments 9.zoomable interface 10.natural language






26. They only involve the elements that you have written on the cards - They suggest solutions that imply structure - They become difficult to navigate with more categories






27. 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






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






29. Participants - design - tester
