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.

12. 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






13. Location - Logical Grouping - Conventions - Redundancy






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






15. 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






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

22. Unscientific - Partial - Unstable - Inconsistent - Personal






23. Menu options create small articulatory distance






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






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






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






27. Overload - Feedback - Recognition/Recall - Orientation






28. 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






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