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

4. Location - Logical Grouping - Conventions - Redundancy






5. 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






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






7. 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






8. 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






9. Primary - secondary - facilitator - indirect






10. Participants - design - tester

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






17. Time - finance - personnel - laboratory






18. Observation - elicitation






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






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






21. 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






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






23. Overload - Feedback - Recognition/Recall - Orientation






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






25. 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






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






27. 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






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






29. 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






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






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






32. 1.require knowledge of the task domain - 2.may require tedious clarification dialogues - 3.complex system development






33. 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






34. 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






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






36. Direct - indirect - ethnographic observation - distributed cognition






37. Unscientific - Partial - Unstable - Inconsistent - Personal






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






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






40. Physical - cultural - functional - informational






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






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






43. 1.creating descriptions of the people who do the work 2.describing the different goals involved in the work 3.documenting the work step by step 4.creating different stories about how the various aspects of the work are done 5.creating charts and diag
