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.

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






6. 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






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






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






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






12. 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


13. Comprehensibility and learnability






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






15. They require knowledge of problem space - They can lead beyond the problem space - There is no formal semantics for defining symbol meaning






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






17. 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






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






19. Time - finance - personnel - laboratory






20. 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






21. 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






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






23. 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






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






25. Unscientific - Partial - Unstable - Inconsistent - Personal






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






27. 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






28. Physical - cultural - functional - informational






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






30. Observation - elicitation






31. 1. the people who are involved with the work 2. the things they use to do the work - 3. the process that are involved in the work - 4. the information required to do the work - 5. the constraints imposed on the work - 6. the inputs required by the wo






32. They increase productivity - They offer constraint and consistency checks - They facilitate team approaches - They ease maintenance






33. 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






34. Overload - Feedback - Recognition/Recall - Orientation






35. Effectiveness/Usefulness 1.Utility 2.Safety(Recovery) 3.Flexibility(Customization) 4.Stability - Efficiency/Usability






36. 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


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






38. 1.require knowledge of the task domain - 2.may require tedious clarification dialogues - 3.complex system development






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






40. Primary - secondary - facilitator - indirect






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






42. Participants - design - tester






43. 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






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






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






46. Menu options create small articulatory distance






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