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.

2. Overload - Feedback - Recognition/Recall - Orientation






3. Goals - Execution - World - Evaluation






4. 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






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






6. 1.creating descriptions of the people who do the work 2.describing the different goals involved in the work 3.documenting the work step by step 4.creating different stories about how the various aspects of the work are done 5.creating charts and diag






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






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. Time - finance - personnel - laboratory






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






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






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






14. Menu options create small articulatory distance






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






16. 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






17. 1. Visibility of System Status 2. Match between System and the Real World 3. User Control and Freedom 4. Consistency and Standards 5. Error Prevention 6. Recognition Rather Than Recall 7. Flexibility and Efficiency of Use 8. Aesthetic and Minimalist


18. Physical - cultural - functional - informational






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






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






21. 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






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






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






24. User interface independence 1.They separate interface design from internals 2.They enable multiple user interface strategies 3. They enable multiple platform support 4. They establish the role of the user interface architect 5. They enforce standards






25. 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






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






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






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






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






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






31. 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






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






33. Progressive Disclosure - Constraints






34. 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






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. 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


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






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






39. Primary - secondary - facilitator - indirect






40. 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






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






42. Observation - elicitation






43. 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






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






45. 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






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






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