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.

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






17. 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






18. Time - finance - personnel - laboratory






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






20. Observation - elicitation






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






22. 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






23. 1.low memory requirement 2. self- explanatory 3. simple linear presentation 4.easy for beginner






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






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






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






27. Comprehensibility and learnability






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






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






30. 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






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






32. Menu options create small articulatory distance






33. 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






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






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






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






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






38. Progressive Disclosure - Constraints






39. 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


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

42. Goals - Execution - World - Evaluation






43. 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






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






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






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