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.
1. Unscientific - Partial - Unstable - Inconsistent - Personal






2. 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

11. 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






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






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






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






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






16. 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






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






18. Observation - elicitation






19. Goals - Execution - World - Evaluation






20. 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






21. Time - finance - personnel - laboratory






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






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






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






25. 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






26. Physical - cultural - functional - informational






27. Low- fidelity prototypes - Evaluations - Wireframes - Functional prototypes






28. 1. Visibility of System Status 2. Match between System and the Real World 3. User Control and Freedom 4. Consistency and Standards 5. Error Prevention 6. Recognition Rather Than Recall 7. Flexibility and Efficiency of Use 8. Aesthetic and Minimalist


29. Comprehensibility and learnability






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






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






32. 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






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






34. Brainstorming - Card sort - Semantic Networks - Personas - Scenarios - Flowcharts - Cognitive walkthrough - Use cases






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






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






37. Primary - secondary - facilitator - indirect






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






39. Minimize help desk calls - increase product loyalty - Provide benchmarks for future products






40. Overload - Feedback - Recognition/Recall - Orientation






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






42. 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






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






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