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.

29. 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






30. Overload - Feedback - Recognition/Recall - Orientation






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






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






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

38. 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






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






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






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






42. 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
