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. 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






8. Location - Logical Grouping - Conventions - Redundancy






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






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

15. They are quick and easy to create - They provide a consistent model for all team members - They are easy to use with other design methods - They make the user real in the mind of the designer






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






17. Direct - indirect - ethnographic observation - distributed cognition






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






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






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






21. 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






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






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






24. 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






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






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






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. Unscientific - Partial - Unstable - Inconsistent - Personal






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






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. Physical - cultural - functional - informational






32. 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






33. 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






34. 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






35. 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






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






37. 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






38. Menu options create small articulatory distance






39. Goals - Execution - World - Evaluation






40. Overload - Feedback - Recognition/Recall - Orientation






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






42. 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






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






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