Test your basic knowledge |

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.

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






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






15. 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






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






17. 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






18. 1.low memory requirement 2. self- explanatory 3. simple linear presentation 4.easy for beginner






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






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






21. Time - finance - personnel - laboratory






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






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






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






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






26. 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






27. 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






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






29. Participants - design - tester






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






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






32. 1.ease of learning - 2.low memory requirement - 3.flexible interaction - 4.low screen requirement - 5. sppropriate for beginner






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

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






39. Menu options create small articulatory distance






40. Physical - cultural - functional - informational






41. 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






42. Overload - Feedback - Recognition/Recall - Orientation






43. 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
