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






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






3. 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

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






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






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






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






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






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






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






14. Time - finance - personnel - laboratory






15. 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


16. 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






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






18. Location - Logical Grouping - Conventions - Redundancy






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






20. 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






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






22. 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






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






24. 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






25. Primary - secondary - facilitator - indirect






26. Observation - elicitation






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






28. 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






29. They are quick and easy to perform - They can be done before any preliminary designs have been made - They will let you know how people organize information - They will expose underlying structures






30. Menu options create small articulatory distance






31. Translating the user's task language into the input language requires knowledge of the core language - The output language can be confusing for inexperienced users - there is very little feedback






32. Graphical libraries - User interface toolkits - Visual interface builders - Web development tools






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






34. 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






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






36. Progressive Disclosure - Constraints






37. Physical - cultural - functional - informational






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






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






40. 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






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






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






43. Comprehensibility and learnability






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






45. 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
