Introduction to HCI

What does HCI stand for?

• Human-Computer Interaction
• Healthcare Information
• High-Capacity Interface
• Human-Computer Interface

Which design principle suggests that users should be able to understand what actions are possible and how to perform them without explicit instructions?

• Visibility
• Affordance

• Intuitiveness
• Clarity

The "Gulf of Execution" refers to the gap between:

• a user's goals and the system's feedback
• a user's goals and the system's interface
• a user's goals and the system's actions or controls
• a user's goals and the system's design

The "Gulf of Evaluation" refers to the gap between:

• the system's input and output
• system's output and the user's expectations or understanding
• the user's understanding and the system's documentation
• the user's expectations and the system's design

What is the primary goal of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)?

• Designing user-friendly interfaces
• Creating abstract art
• Studying animal behavior
• Developing complex algorithms

Which of the following is NOT a primary component of HCI?

• User Interface
• Input Devices
• Software Development
• Operating Systems

What is the importance of affordance in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)?

• Guiding users on what actions are possible

• Creating abstract art

• Studying animal behavior

• Developing complex algorithms

Why is understanding the Gulf of Evaluation important in HCI?

• To bridge the gap between input and output

• To align user expectations with system understanding

• To improve system documentation

• To enhance user interface design

What is the significance of the "Gulf of Execution" in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)?

• Aligning user goals with system feedback

• Understanding user expectations

• Improving system documentation

• Enhancing user interface design

How does affordance contribute to the usability of interfaces in HCI?

• By indicating what actions are possible

• By analyzing user behavior

• By creating complex algorithms

• By designing abstract art
