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.

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






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






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






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






10. Progressive Disclosure - Constraints






11. Direct - indirect - ethnographic observation - distributed cognition






12. Physical - cultural - functional - informational






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






14. 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






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






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






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






19. 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






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






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






22. 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






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






25. Establishing the goal - Forming the intention - Specifying the action sequence - Execute the action sequence - Perceiving the world state - Interpreting the perception - Evaluate the interpretation






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






27. 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






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






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






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






31. Time - finance - personnel - laboratory






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






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






34. Overload - Feedback - Recognition/Recall - Orientation






35. Unscientific - Partial - Unstable - Inconsistent - Personal






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






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






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






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






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






41. 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


42. 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






43. 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






44. 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






45. 1.easy to learn2.low memory requirements 3.easy to undo 4.immediate feedback to user actions 5.enable user to use spatial cues 6.easy for beginner






46. 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






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






48. 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
