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.

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






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






22. Goals - Execution - World - Evaluation






23. 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






24. 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






25. 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






26. 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






27. Overload - Feedback - Recognition/Recall - Orientation






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






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






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






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






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






33. 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






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






35. Primary - secondary - facilitator - indirect






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






37. Menu options create small articulatory distance






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






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

41. 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






42. 1. low memory requirements 2. self- explanatory 3.easy to undo errors 4. sppropriate for beginners






43. Participants - design - tester






44. 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


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