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.

7. 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






8. Progressive Disclosure - Constraints






9. Speech input 1.hands - free operation 2.poor lighting situations 3.mobile application 4.in the home - speech output 5.on - board navigational systems






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






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






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






13. 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


14. 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






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






16. 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






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






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






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






20. 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






21. Direct - indirect - ethnographic observation - distributed cognition






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






23. Goals - Execution - World - Evaluation






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






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






26. Participants - design - tester






27. Brainstorming - Card sort - Semantic Networks - Personas - Scenarios - Flowcharts - Cognitive walkthrough - Use cases






28. Primary - secondary - facilitator - indirect






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






30. 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






31. 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






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






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






34. Gulfs of execution relate to the effectiveness principle - Gulfs of evaluation relate to the efficiency principle






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






36. Minimize help desk calls - increase product loyalty - Provide benchmarks for future products






37. 1.run out of metaphors 2.mixed metaphors 3.carry connotations and association






38. 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


39. 1. low memory requirements 2. self- explanatory 3.easy to undo errors 4. sppropriate for beginners






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






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






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






43. Time - finance - personnel - laboratory






44. They make it possible to try out ideas very early - They make it possible to test - revise - test - revise...They engage end users -- managers and customers






45. Menu options create small articulatory distance
