Which of the following best defines physiological factors in design?

• Attributes related to mental and emotional behavior.

• Measurable physical responses to internal and external stimuli.

• The aesthetic appeal of a person's physical attributes.

• Data collected to understand user preferences in design.

Which of the following is an example of psychological comfort in product design?

• A chair designed with adjustable armrests.

• A mattress offering customizable firmness.

• A smartphone with a tactile and high-quality finish.

• A desk lamp with an ergonomic height adjustment feature.

What is a key consideration for designers aiming to reduce fatigue in users?

• Incorporating innovative textures in the design.

• Increasing the weight of products to enhance durability.

• Designing tasks to require less repetitive motion and force.

• Focusing solely on improving aesthetics, hence psychological factors.

Which of the following best represents biomechanics in product design?

• Studying user reactions to environmental factors like noise and light.

• Studying how users interact with physical forces, posture, and motion.

• Studying the emotional satisfaction derived from product use.

• Creating products that mimics phenomena and movements observed in nature.

What does the repetition factor in biomechanics address?

• The force required to complete a task.

• The frequency at which a task is performed and its potential impact on the body.

• The duration of a task's cycle time.

• The body posture needed to perform a task effectively.

Which of the following is not a challenge for designers focusing on inclusive design?

• Limited resources like time and budget.

• Integrating diverse needs into a cohesive product design.

• Decreased revenue from universal design.

• Unintentional biases impacting inclusivity.

How does inclusive design benefit users?

• It limits their interaction with the product.

• It simplifies the product to meet only basic needs.

• It promotes accessibility and independence.

• It prioritizes aesthetics over functionality.

Which scenario best illustrates the application of physiological factor data?

• Designing a pair of shoes that is lighter.

• Creating a chair that supports proper posture during long work hours.

• Developing a lamp that changes brightness based on ambient light.

• Producing a smartphone with a stylish, minimalist design.

What condition can fatigue contribute to, which affects muscles, nerves, blood vessels, ligaments, and tendons, and is often caused by repetitive tasks or awkward body postures?

• • Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS)

• • Arthritis (ATD)

• • Musculoskeletal disorder (MSD)

• • Tendonitis (TDD)

Which of the following is a key benefit for designers who implement inclusive design practices?

• • Reduced production costs due to streamlined processes.

• • Gaining positive recognition for social responsibility.
