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.

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






11. 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






12. Effectiveness/Usefulness 1.Utility 2.Safety(Recovery) 3.Flexibility(Customization) 4.Stability - Efficiency/Usability






13. 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






14. Overload - Feedback - Recognition/Recall - Orientation






15. Goals - Execution - World - Evaluation






16. Primary - secondary - facilitator - indirect






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






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






19. Time - finance - personnel - laboratory






20. Participants - design - tester






21. 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






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






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

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






26. 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






27. Brainstorming - Card sort - Semantic Networks - Personas - Scenarios - Flowcharts - Cognitive walkthrough - Use cases






28. 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






29. 1.require valid input in valid format 2.require familiarity with interface control 3.can be tedious to correct mistakes






30. 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






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






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






33. 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






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






35. Minimize help desk calls - increase product loyalty - Provide benchmarks for future products






36. 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






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






38. 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






39. Functionality->presentation filter | (comprehensibility barrier)| efficiency usability ->|(learnability barrier) | Effectiveness Usefulness






40. 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


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






42. They are quick and easy to create - They provide a consistent model for all team members - They are easy to use with other design methods - They make the user real in the mind of the designer






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






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






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






46. 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
