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. 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






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






18. 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






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






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






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






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






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






24. 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


25. 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






26. Articulatory distance is large because we are presented with the command prompt - no indication of functionality






27. 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






28. 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






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






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






31. 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






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






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






34. 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






35. 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






36. 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
