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

15. The range of possible intentions is consistently wide - users usually have multiple options for specifying action sequences - provide multiple ways of executing action sequence






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






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






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






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






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






21. Physical - cultural - functional - informational






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






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






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






25. 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






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






27. 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






28. 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






29. Participants - design - tester






30. Goals - Execution - World - Evaluation






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






32. Observation - elicitation






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






34. 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






35. 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






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






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






38. 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






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






40. 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






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






42. 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
