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

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






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






5. 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






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






7. Participants - design - tester






8. 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


9. 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






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

17. They allow an easy way to explore the problem space - They provide a way to create clusters of related elements - They provide a graphical view of the problem space - They resonate with the ways in which people process information






18. 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






19. Direct - indirect - ethnographic observation - distributed cognition






20. Comprehensibility and learnability






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






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






23. Overload - Feedback - Recognition/Recall - Orientation






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






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






26. Progressive Disclosure - Constraints






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






28. 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






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. 1.low memory requirements 2. self- explanatory 3.can gather a great deal of information in little space 4.present a context for input information






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






32. 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






33. Menu options create small articulatory distance






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






35. 1. the people who are involved with the work 2. the things they use to do the work - 3. the process that are involved in the work - 4. the information required to do the work - 5. the constraints imposed on the work - 6. the inputs required by the wo






36. 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






37. Primary - secondary - facilitator - indirect






38. Physical - cultural - functional - informational






39. 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






40. They only involve the elements that you have written on the cards - They suggest solutions that imply structure - They become difficult to navigate with more categories






41. Speech input 1.hands - free operation 2.poor lighting situations 3.mobile application 4.in the home - speech output 5.on - board navigational systems






42. 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






43. Location - Logical Grouping - Conventions - Redundancy
