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.

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






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






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






12. Effectiveness/Usefulness 1.Utility 2.Safety(Recovery) 3.Flexibility(Customization) 4.Stability - Efficiency/Usability






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






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






15. 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






16. 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






17. 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






18. 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

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






20. 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






21. 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






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






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






24. Participants - design - tester






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






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






27. Progressive Disclosure - Constraints






28. 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

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






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






36. Menu options create small articulatory distance
