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.
1. 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






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






3. Observation - elicitation






4. 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


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






6. Participants - design - tester






7. 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






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






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






10. Overload - Feedback - Recognition/Recall - Orientation






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






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






13. Time - finance - personnel - laboratory






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






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






16. 1.easy to learn2.low memory requirements 3.easy to undo 4.immediate feedback to user actions 5.enable user to use spatial cues 6.easy for beginner






17. 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






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






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






20. Establishing the goal - Forming the intention - Specifying the action sequence - Execute the action sequence - Perceiving the world state - Interpreting the perception - Evaluate the interpretation






21. 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






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






23. 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






24. Unscientific - Partial - Unstable - Inconsistent - Personal






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






26. 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






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






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






29. Goals - Execution - World - Evaluation






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






31. Direct - indirect - ethnographic observation - distributed cognition






32. Comprehensibility and learnability






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






34. 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






35. 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






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






37. Primary - secondary - facilitator - indirect






38. 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






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






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






41. 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






42. 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






43. Progressive Disclosure - Constraints






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






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