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.

13. 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






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






15. 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






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






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






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. Menu options create small articulatory distance






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






21. Progressive Disclosure - Constraints






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






23. Goals - Execution - World - Evaluation






24. 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






25. Comprehensibility and learnability






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






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






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






29. 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






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






31. Participants - design - tester






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






33. Overload - Feedback - Recognition/Recall - Orientation






34. Observation - elicitation






35. 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


36. 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

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






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






40. 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
