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






2. 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






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

5. 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






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






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






8. 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






9. Comprehensibility and learnability






10. Participants - design - tester






11. 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






12. 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


13. Progressive Disclosure - Constraints






14. Location - Logical Grouping - Conventions - Redundancy






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






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






17. 1. the people who are involved with the work 2. the things they use to do the work - 3. the process that are involved in the work - 4. the information required to do the work - 5. the constraints imposed on the work - 6. the inputs required by the wo






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






19. Direct - indirect - ethnographic observation - distributed cognition






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






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






22. 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






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






24. 1.free phase 2.captive phase 3. termination phase






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






26. Easy and inexpensive to make - Flexible enough to be constantly changed and rearranged - Complete enough to yield useful feedback about specific design questions






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 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






29. 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






30. 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






31. 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






32. 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






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






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






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






36. 1.ease of learning - 2.low memory requirement - 3.flexible interaction - 4.low screen requirement - 5. sppropriate for beginner






37. They increase productivity - They offer constraint and consistency checks - They facilitate team approaches - They ease maintenance






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






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






40. 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
