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.

8. Observation - elicitation






9. Primary - secondary - facilitator - indirect






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






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






12. Menu options create small articulatory distance






13. 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


14. 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






15. Physical - cultural - functional - informational






16. Location - Logical Grouping - Conventions - Redundancy






17. Unscientific - Partial - Unstable - Inconsistent - Personal






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






19. Time - finance - personnel - laboratory

21. 1.low memory requirement 2. self- explanatory 3. simple linear presentation 4.easy for beginner






22. Overload - Feedback - Recognition/Recall - Orientation






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






24. 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






25. Comprehensibility and learnability






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






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






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






29. 1.They facilitate the development of design procedures 2.They help in finding ways to talk about design 3.They create project management






30. 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






31. Goals - Execution - World - Evaluation






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






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






34. They are quick and easy to perform - They can be done before any preliminary designs have been made - They will let you know how people organize information - They will expose underlying structures






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






36. Direct - indirect - ethnographic observation - distributed cognition






37. 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






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






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






40. 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






41. Low- fidelity prototypes - Evaluations - Wireframes - Functional prototypes






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