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. 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

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






5. 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

12. Goals - Execution - World - Evaluation






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






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






15. 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






16. Overload - Feedback - Recognition/Recall - Orientation






17. Menu options create small articulatory distance






18. Progressive Disclosure - Constraints






19. Functionality->presentation filter | (comprehensibility barrier)| efficiency usability ->|(learnability barrier) | Effectiveness Usefulness






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






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






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






23. Physical - cultural - functional - informational






24. 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






25. Location - Logical Grouping - Conventions - Redundancy






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






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






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






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






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






31. 1.command line 2.menu- based interface 3.form fill- in 4.question and answers 5.direct manipulation 6.metaphors 7.web navigation 8.3d environments 9.zoomable interface 10.natural language






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






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






34. 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






35. 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






36. 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






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






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