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.

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






12. 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






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






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

17. 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






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






19. Gulfs of execution relate to the effectiveness principle - Gulfs of evaluation relate to the efficiency principle






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






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






22. 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






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






24. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






32. Time - finance - personnel - laboratory






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






34. Goals - Execution - World - Evaluation






35. 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






36. Unscientific - Partial - Unstable - Inconsistent - Personal






37. Direct - indirect - ethnographic observation - distributed cognition






38. 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






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






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






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






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






43. Participants - design - tester






44. 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
