HCI Models Quiz

Which input device model distinguishes between button pressed and cursor moving states?

• GOMS model

• Buxton's three-state model

• KLM

• CCT

What does Buxton's three-state model primarily evaluate?

• Cognitive load during multiple tasks

• Efficiency of task execution with different input devices

• Emotional impact of interface design

• Speed of network connections

In the context of HCI models, what is a major difference between competence models and performance models?

• Competence models focus on theoretical capabilities, while performance models focus on practical task execution.

• Competence models are used exclusively in software engineering, while performance models are used in hardware design.

• Competence models calculate the physical effort involved, whereas performance models calculate cognitive effort.

• Competence models are outdated, while performance models are used in modern HCI research.

The term 'operators' in GOMS model refers to what?

• People who use the system

• Basic actions required to interact with the system

• Software operators within the application code

• External devices connected to the system

In the context of HCI models, what does 'performance model' specifically refer to?

• Models that predict the performance of the computer system itself

• Models that describe and predict user behavior during task execution

• Models used by performance artists to integrate technology into their acts

• Models that are used for high-performance computing simulations

What aspect of user interaction does Cognitive Complexity Theory (CCT) specifically focus on enhancing?

• Emotional responses

• Predictive power of user behavior

• Graphical interface design

• Software development efficiency

Which model is primarily concerned with the high-level goal structuring of user tasks?

• KLM

• GOMS

• CCT

• Buxton's model

Which of the following best describes the purpose of using production rules in Cognitive Complexity Theory (CCT)?

• To define the aesthetics of user interfaces

• To enhance the processing speed of the computer system

• To predict and analyze user behavior based on goals and system interactions

• To manage the memory usage of applications

What is a significant feature of the Keystroke-Level Model (KLM)?

• It includes emotional analysis of user interaction

• It predicts cognitive load based on task complexity

• It provides exact predictions of task execution times based on physical actions

• It assesses the user's learning curve over time

Which cognitive model would be most appropriate to use for a detailed analysis of a user performing a routine task quickly?

• GOMS

• CCT

• KLM

• ICS
