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. 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






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






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

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






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






7. 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






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






9. 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






10. Participants - design - tester

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






24. 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






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






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

29. 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






30. 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






31. 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






32. 1.require valid input in valid format 2.require familiarity with interface control 3.can be tedious to correct mistakes

34. 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






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






36. 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






37. Location - Logical Grouping - Conventions - Redundancy






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