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.

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






23. 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






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






25. 1. suitable for repetitive tasks 2. sdvantageous for expert users 3.offer direct access to system functionality 4.efficient and powerful 5.not encumbered with graphic controls - low visual load - not taxing on system resource 6. scriptable






26. Gulfs of execution relate to the effectiveness principle - Gulfs of evaluation relate to the efficiency principle






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






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






29. 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






30. Menu options create small articulatory distance






31. 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






32. 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






33. Progressive Disclosure - Constraints






34. 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






35. Location - Logical Grouping - Conventions - Redundancy






36. Direct - indirect - ethnographic observation - distributed cognition






37. 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






38. Participants - design - tester






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






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






41. They allow an easy way to explore the problem space - They provide a way to create clusters of related elements - They provide a graphical view of the problem space - They resonate with the ways in which people process information






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






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






44. Primary - secondary - facilitator - indirect
