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.

19. Unscientific - Partial - Unstable - Inconsistent - Personal






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






21. 1.rapid and inflexible navigation 2.inefficient for large menu navigation 3.inefficient use of screen real estate 4. slow for expert






22. Overload - Feedback - Recognition/Recall - Orientation






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






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






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. 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


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






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

31. Primary - secondary - facilitator - indirect






32. Progressive Disclosure - Constraints






33. Physical - cultural - functional - informational






34. 1. suitable for repetitive tasks 2. sdvantageous for expert users 3.offer direct access to system functionality 4.efficient and powerful 5.not encumbered with graphic controls - low visual load - not taxing on system resource 6. scriptable






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






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






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






38. 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






39. 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






40. 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






41. Direct - indirect - ethnographic observation - distributed cognition






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






43. 1.require valid input supplied by user 2.require familiarity with interface control 3.can be tedious to correct mistakes






44. They can be used early and often - They are inexpensive and easy to create - They make design idea visual - No special knowledge is required - all team members can create them
