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.

22. 1.low command retention 2. steep learning curve 3.high error rates 4.heavy reliance on memory 5.frustrating for novice users






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






24. 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






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






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






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






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






29. Physical - cultural - functional - informational






30. Determine the function of the device - Determine what actions are possible - Determine mapping from intention to physical movement - Perform the action - Determine whether the system is in the desired state - Determine the mapping from system state t






31. 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






32. 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






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

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






36. 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
