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.

3. Primary - secondary - facilitator - indirect






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

10. 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






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






12. 1.not self- explanatory 2.inefficient use of screen real estate 3.high graphical system requirements






13. 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






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






15. 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






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






17. Overload - Feedback - Recognition/Recall - Orientation






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






19. 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






20. Unscientific - Partial - Unstable - Inconsistent - Personal






21. Progressive Disclosure - Constraints






22. Participants - design - tester






23. 1.low command retention 2. steep learning curve 3.high error rates 4.heavy reliance on memory 5.frustrating for novice users






24. 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






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






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






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






28. Goals - Execution - World - Evaluation






29. 1.command line 2.menu- based interface 3.form fill- in 4.question and answers 5.direct manipulation 6.metaphors 7.web navigation 8.3d environments 9.zoomable interface 10.natural language






30. 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






31. 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


32. 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






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






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






35. 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






36. 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






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






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






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






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






41. Menu options create small articulatory distance






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






43. 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






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