CEN 3721 FINAL EXAM COMPREHENSIVE
TEST PAPER QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS
GRADED A+
●● 5 Design Principles.
Answer: - Visibility: Are the functions/features working properly?
- Feedback: Tells user what they just did (Confirming)
- Constraints: Restricting the kinds of interactions
- Consistency: Interface has similar operations for similar tasks
- Affordance: Attributes of an object that allows people to know how to
use it (Icons to click)
●● Cognitive processes, how we perceive and related design
implications (presentations slides & Designing with the Mind in Mind
textbook).
Answer:
●● CRUM/6 approaches to modeling the mind.
Answer: Logic
Rules
Concepts
Analogies
, Images
Neural connections
●● 4 basic activities involved in interaction design.
Answer: 1. Identifying needs and establishing requirements for the user
experiences
2. Developing alternative designs
3. Building interactive prototypes that can be communicated and
assessed
4. Evaluating what is being throughout the process.
●● Short-term and Long-term memory and related design implications
(presentation slides & Designing with the Mind in Mind textbook).
Answer: Short term: Combo of phenomena arising from perception and
attention.
Long term: No one knows what the capacity is/Plays a role through
activation of recognition and recall.
Design implications: User interfaces should help people remember
essential information from one moment to the next.
●● Gestalt.
Answer: Focuses on the mind's perceptive processes. "A way a thing has
been placed, or put together." "Form/Shape."
