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.

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






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






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

11. 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. 1.low command retention 2. steep learning curve 3.high error rates 4.heavy reliance on memory 5.frustrating for novice users






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






14. Menu options create small articulatory distance






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






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






17. Goals - Execution - World - Evaluation






18. Direct - indirect - ethnographic observation - distributed cognition






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






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






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






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






23. 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


24. Unscientific - Partial - Unstable - Inconsistent - Personal






25. Participants - design - tester






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






27. 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






28. 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






29. Time - finance - personnel - laboratory






30. 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






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






32. Physical - cultural - functional - informational






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






34. 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






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






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






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

40. Observation - elicitation






41. Primary - secondary - facilitator - indirect






42. Overload - Feedback - Recognition/Recall - Orientation






43. 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






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






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






46. Progressive Disclosure - Constraints






47. 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
