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. 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






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






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






4. 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






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






6. 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






7. 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






8. 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






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






10. Direct - indirect - ethnographic observation - distributed cognition






11. Comprehensibility and learnability






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






13. Primary - secondary - facilitator - indirect






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






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






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






17. Time - finance - personnel - laboratory






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






19. 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






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

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






23. 1. suitable for repetitive tasks 2. sdvantageous for expert users 3.offer direct access to system functionality 4.efficient and powerful 5.not encumbered with graphic controls - low visual load - not taxing on system resource 6. scriptable






24. 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






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






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






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






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






29. Location - Logical Grouping - Conventions - Redundancy






30. Overload - Feedback - Recognition/Recall - Orientation

33. Physical - cultural - functional - informational






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






35. Graphical libraries - User interface toolkits - Visual interface builders - Web development tools






36. Determine the function of the device - Determine what actions are possible - Determine mapping from intention to physical movement - Perform the action - Determine whether the system is in the desired state - Determine the mapping from system state t
