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.

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






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

17. Progressive Disclosure - Constraints






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






19. 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






20. Consistency-Correctness - Generalizability - Conventions - Familiarity - Location - Modes






21. 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






22. Direct - indirect - ethnographic observation - distributed cognition






23. 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






24. 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






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






26. Menu options create small articulatory distance






27. Comprehensibility and learnability






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






29. 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






30. 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






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






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






33. Location - Logical Grouping - Conventions - Redundancy






34. 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


35. Structuring the information space - Creating of alternative solutions - Determining which design concept to purse






36. Physical - cultural - functional - informational






37. 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






38. Observation - elicitation






39. 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


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






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






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






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






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