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.
1. Gulfs of execution relate to the effectiveness principle - Gulfs of evaluation relate to the efficiency principle






2. 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






3. Location - Logical Grouping - Conventions - Redundancy






4. Comprehensibility and learnability






5. Intention formation - specification of the action - and the execution stages are complex - Require a rather accurate mental model of the computer's internal processing






6. Artificial context - Not definitive od product acceptance - Skewed sample of uses - Not always efficient






7. Menu options create small articulatory distance






8. 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






9. The range of possible intentions is consistently wide - users usually have multiple options for specifying action sequences - provide multiple ways of executing action sequence






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






11. 1. low memory requirements 2. self- explanatory 3.easy to undo errors 4. sppropriate for beginners






12. Translating the user's task language into the input language requires knowledge of the core language - The output language can be confusing for inexperienced users - there is very little feedback

16. Ease of Learning - Efficiency of use - Memorability - Error frequency and severity - Subjective satisfaction






17. Overload - Feedback - Recognition/Recall - Orientation






18. 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






19. Determine the function of the device - Determine what actions are possible - Determine mapping from intention to physical movement - Perform the action - Determine whether the system is in the desired state - Determine the mapping from system state t






20. Physical - cultural - functional - informational






21. 1.require valid input supplied by user 2.require familiarity with interface control 3.can be tedious to correct mistakes






22. Observation - elicitation






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






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






25. Direct indirect - corporate documentation - logs and notes - questionnaires






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






27. 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






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






29. 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






30. Graphical libraries - User interface toolkits - Visual interface builders - Web development tools






31. 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






32. Task analysis - storyboarding - use cases - primary stakeholder profiles






33. 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






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






35. Consistency-Correctness - Generalizability - Conventions - Familiarity - Location - Modes






36. 1. Visibility of System Status 2. Match between System and the Real World 3. User Control and Freedom 4. Consistency and Standards 5. Error Prevention 6. Recognition Rather Than Recall 7. Flexibility and Efficiency of Use 8. Aesthetic and Minimalist
