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.

29. 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


30. 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






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






32. 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
