Test your basic knowledge |

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






2. 1.free phase 2.captive phase 3. termination phase






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






4. 1.require valid input in valid format 2.require familiarity with interface control 3.can be tedious to correct mistakes






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






6. 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






7. 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


8. What it will look like - What components it will require - How the screens will be laid out






9. 1.creating descriptions of the people who do the work 2.describing the different goals involved in the work 3.documenting the work step by step 4.creating different stories about how the various aspects of the work are done 5.creating charts and diag






10. Comprehensibility and learnability






11. They make it possible to try out ideas very early - They make it possible to test - revise - test - revise...They engage end users -- managers and customers






12. Structuring the information space - Creating of alternative solutions - Determining which design concept to purse






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






14. 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






15. 1.easy to learn2.low memory requirements 3.easy to undo 4.immediate feedback to user actions 5.enable user to use spatial cues 6.easy for beginner






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






17. Menu options create small articulatory distance






18. Articulatory distance is large because we are presented with the command prompt - no indication of functionality






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






20. Location - Logical Grouping - Conventions - Redundancy






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






22. 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






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






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






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






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

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






29. 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






30. Observation - elicitation






31. Determine the function of the device - Determine what actions are possible - Determine mapping from intention to physical movement - Perform the action - Determine whether the system is in the desired state - Determine the mapping from system state t






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






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






34. 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






35. 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


36. Goals - Execution - World - Evaluation






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






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






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






40. 1. suitable for repetitive tasks 2. sdvantageous for expert users 3.offer direct access to system functionality 4.efficient and powerful 5.not encumbered with graphic controls - low visual load - not taxing on system resource 6. scriptable






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






42. 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
