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.

28. Overload - Feedback - Recognition/Recall - Orientation






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






30. Progressive Disclosure - Constraints






31. Observation - elicitation






32. 1.language is ambiguous 2.meaning depends on context 3.dependent on visual cues






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






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






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






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






37. 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






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