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.

20. 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






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






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






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






24. Primary - secondary - facilitator - indirect






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

27. 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






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






29. 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






30. Goals - Execution - World - Evaluation






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






32. Direct - indirect - ethnographic observation - distributed cognition






33. Comprehensibility and learnability






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






35. Progressive Disclosure - Constraints






36. 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






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






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






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






40. Physical - cultural - functional - informational






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






42. Observation - elicitation






43. 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






44. Speech input 1.hands - free operation 2.poor lighting situations 3.mobile application 4.in the home - speech output 5.on - board navigational systems






45. 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
