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






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

4. 1.command line 2.menu- based interface 3.form fill- in 4.question and answers 5.direct manipulation 6.metaphors 7.web navigation 8.3d environments 9.zoomable interface 10.natural language






5. Location - Logical Grouping - Conventions - Redundancy






6. 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






7. Observation - elicitation






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






10. 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






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






12. Overload - Feedback - Recognition/Recall - Orientation






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






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






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






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






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






18. Goals - Execution - World - Evaluation






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






20. Menu options create small articulatory distance






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






22. 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






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






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






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






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

29. 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






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






31. Direct - indirect - ethnographic observation - distributed cognition






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






33. 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






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






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






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


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






39. 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






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






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