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.

17. 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






18. Primary - secondary - facilitator - indirect






19. 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






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






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






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






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






25. 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






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






27. 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






28. Progressive Disclosure - Constraints






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






30. 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

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






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






38. What it will look like - What components it will require - How the screens will be laid out






39. 1.low memory requirements 2. self- explanatory 3.can gather a great deal of information in little space 4.present a context for input information
