Terms of Interaction:
An area of expertise and knowledge in some real-world activity

145
Q

Terms of Interaction:
Operations to manipulate the concepts of a domain

146
Q

Terms of Interaction:
Desired output from a performed tasks

147

Terms of Interaction:
Specification required to meet the goal

148
Q

Terms of Interaction:
Identification of the problem space for the user of an interactive system in terms of domain, goals, intention and tasks.

A

Task Analysis

149
Q

Terms of Interaction:
Core Language describes computational attributes of the domain relevant to the system state.

A

System’s Language

150
Q

Terms of Interaction:
Task language, describes psychological attributes of the domain relevant to the user state.

A

User’s Language

151
Q

Terms of Interaction:
Computerized Application

152
Q

This the plan formulated by the user that is execute by the computer. When finished, the user evaluates the results and determines the further action

A

The Execution-Evaluation Cycle

153
Q

This talks about the user-side that communication is in task-languages and on the system side, in core language

A

The Interaction Framework

154
Q

This talks about the user side of the interface, covering both input and output and the user’s immediate context

A

Ergonomics

155
Q

What are the things mentioned about Frameworks and HCI

A
  • Ergonomics
  • Dialog Design and Interface Styles
  • Presentation and Screen Design
156
Q

This study of the physical characteristics of the interaction.

A

Ergonomics

157
Q

True or False:
Ergonomics contribution to HCI is in determining constraints on the way we designing systems and suggesting detailed and specification guidelines and standards.

158
Q

This provides a mean of expressing instructions to the computer directly using function keys, single characters, abbreviations or whole word commands

A

Command Line Interface

159
Q

This are a set of options available for the user and it is displayed on the screen. This can be presented text-based and graphical

160
Q

This talks about the ambiguity of natural language makes it very hard for a machine to understand.

A

Natural Language

161
Q

This talks about the user asking a series of questions and so is led through the interaction step by step.

A

Question/Answer and Query Dialog

A

The WIMP Interface

164
Q

What is the meaning of WIMP

A

Windows, Icons, Menus, and Pointers

This is closely related to the WIMP-Style: pointing and clicking are the only action required to access information

A

Point-and-click interfaces

166
Q

This is the simplest technique where ordinary WIMP elements are given a 3D appearance. A more complex technique uses interfaces with 3D workspace.

A

Three-Dimensional Interfaces

167
Q

What is the most complex 3D workspace

A

Virtual Reality or VR

168
Q

These are areas on the screen that behave as if they were independent terminals in there own right

169
Q

This is a small picture used to represent a closed window

170
Q

These are nothing more that small bitmap images with a hotspot: location which they point

171
Q

This represents a choice of operations or services that can be performed by the system of a given time.

172
Q

These are individual and isolated regions within display that can be selected by the user to invoke a specific action

173
Q

This is mostly equivalent to menus, except for that a toolbar can also hold buttons

174
Q

These are mechanism for making the set of possible modes and the active

175
Q

These are information windows used by the system to bring the user’s attention to some important information

A

Dialog Boxes

176
Q

True or False:
The presence of other people in a work environment affects the performance of the worker in any tasks for example, by ‘competition-behaviour’. A well-designed system, however, may also work motivating on the user.

177
Q

True or False:
It is no longer sufficient that users can use a system; they have to want to use it as well.
