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.

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






25. 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






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






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






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