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. We respond first to the intensity of a stimulus and only then do we begin to process its meaning






14. Menu options create small articulatory distance






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






16. They are not interactive - They cannot be used to calculate response timings - They do not deal with interface issues such as color or font size






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






18. Overload - Feedback - Recognition/Recall - Orientation






19. 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






20. Participants - design - tester






21. 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






22. Time - finance - personnel - laboratory






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






24. 1.ease of learning - 2.low memory requirement - 3.flexible interaction - 4.low screen requirement - 5. sppropriate for beginner






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

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






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






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






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






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. Progressive Disclosure - Constraints






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






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

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






40. Easy and inexpensive to make - Flexible enough to be constantly changed and rearranged - Complete enough to yield useful feedback about specific design questions






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






42. 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






43. 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
