Sure! Here's an approach where each question and answer is presented in a concise numbered list format, like your outlined example:

Natural-language interaction (NLI)
Description: Interaction with systems via spoken or written natural language (e.g., English).
Relation to HCI: Simplifies system interaction for users without requiring technical knowledge.
Pros:
Intuitive and user-friendly.
Increases accessibility (useful for disabled people).
Reduces learning curve.
Cons:
Errors due to ambiguity in language.
Performance depends on accurate language models.
Not practical in noisy environments.
Three populations of users with special needs
Visually impaired users (e.g., blind, color blind).
Hearing impaired users (e.g., deaf, hard of hearing).
Motor-impaired users (e.g., disabled, injured).
Functional, Non-functional, and UX requirements for online shopping
Functional: Product search, checkout, payment process.
Non-functional: Scalability, security, fast response time.
UX: Responsive design, accessible navigation, minimal cognitive load.
Three ways to accommodate diverse users (e.g., elderly, color-blind)
Use high-contrast text/backgrounds to assist visually impaired users.
Provide text equivalents for information that relies on color.
Use simple language and large fonts for elderly users.
What is a mental model in general?
Cognitive framework that represents how something works based on user understanding.
What is a mental model in HCI? Example?
Mental representation of how a user expects to interact with an interface.
Example: A user expecting the "trash bin" icon to delete files.
What is a metaphor in HCI and motivation?
Metaphor: Using familiar concepts (e.g., desktop, folders) in interface design.
Motivation: Helps users understand and navigate virtual systems more easily.
Why are design guidelines useful in HCI?
Ensure consistency across interfaces.
Improve usability and accessibility.
Provide evaluation standards for designers.
What is user-centered design (UCD)?
Design approach emphasizing users' needs, goals, and input throughout the process.
Five interaction styles in HCI
Command-line interface.
Menu selection.
Direct manipulation.
Form fill-in.
Natural language interaction.
Low-fidelity prototypes vs High-fidelity prototypes
Low-fidelity: Cheap, fast design iteration, focus on functionality.
High-fidelity: Detailed visuals but costly and inflexible.
What is user-interface independence?
The design principle where the core system logic is separated from the user interface, making updates and multiple UIs easier to manage.
Three principles of direct manipulation
Continuous object representation.
Immediate, reversible actions.
Incremental feedback.
Advantages/Disadvantages of direct manipulation interfaces
Advantages: Intuitive, engaging, easy to learn.
Disadvantages: Resource-heavy, cluttered UI on small displays.
Advantages/Disadvantages of command language interfaces
Advantages: Powerful for expert users, low resource usage.
Disadvantages: Steep learning curve, errors more likely.
Benefits/Problems of direct manipulation over CLI
Benefits: Intuitive use, fewer errors, visual guidance, faster learning.
Problems: Limited for complex tasks, uses more resources, harder for screen readers.
What is short-term memory?
Temporary storage of a small amount of information (7 ± 2 items) for brief moments.
What is long-term memory?
Permanent storage of learned concepts, skills, and information.
How do short and long-term memory affect response time?
Efficient response time depends on reducing the load on short-term memory and leveraging long-term memory for familiar tasks.
How to minimize the memory load of the user?
Use recognition over recall.
Provide clear instructions and context.
Use progressive disclosure to reduce information overload.
Why is recognition better than recall?
Recognition requires less mental effort, enabling faster and more accurate interactions.
What is think aloud?
Usability testing method where users verbalize thoughts while performing tasks.
Concurrent vs Retrospective think aloud
Concurrent: During the task.
Retrospective: After completing the task.
Lab studies vs Field studies
Lab: Controlled, precise measurements, limited real-world context.
Field: Real-world settings, natural behavior, less control.
Differences between AR and VR
AR: Enhances the real world by overlaying digital content.
VR: Immerses the user in a fully virtual environment.
What is MR (Mixed Reality)?
Combination of AR and VR that enables interaction between virtual and real-world objects in real-time.
Molich–Nielsen heuristics (1990)
Guidelines include providing visibility, user control, consistent terminology, preventing errors, and supporting flexibility (refer to link for full list).
Form fill-in design guidelines
Logical field arrangements.
Provide clear instructions and labels.
Validate inputs dynamically (real-time feedback).
Applications for using menu selection/form fill-in
Tax filing systems.
Job application platforms.
Online booking systems (e.g., hotels, tickets).
