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.

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






9. 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






10. 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

33. 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






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