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.

15. 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

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






21. Primary - secondary - facilitator - indirect






22. 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


23. Progressive Disclosure - Constraints






24. User interface independence 1.They separate interface design from internals 2.They enable multiple user interface strategies 3. They enable multiple platform support 4. They establish the role of the user interface architect 5. They enforce standards






25. 1.run out of metaphors 2.mixed metaphors 3.carry connotations and association






26. 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






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






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






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