15 -Since it is difficult to get access to actual people with dementia, due to both time constraints and COVID, our participants' group will consist of peers from other groups and friends, who will act as if they are older people with dementia. We plan to gather around 20 people for our experiments.

19 -We'll be using the within-subject design. All of the participants will interact with both versions of the robot, 10 of them with version 1 first and then version 2 and the rest the reverse, to counter-balance the carryover effects. We also plan on having some snacks around, available for the participants to eat in case they're prompted and they're hungry. We do not plan on telling them about it beforehand, since we do not want to create that association in their minds before interacting with the robot.

23 -The participant will have to interact with the robot programmed to have a lunch discourse. Two versions will be implemented: the first will ask very basic questions and will basically be a reminder for the PwD to have lunch, and the second will be our original implementation of it with discourse and music inclusion.

27 -We plan on measuring the effectiveness of the discourse, both physically and emotionally. Our quantitative measure is whether the person had the lunch they were supposed to have, and the qualitative measure is the emotions that the PwD experienced before, during, and after the interaction. Depending on the time of the experiments, we assume that people might also not be hungry enough to be prompted to have something to eat. We do plan however to measure whether the robot will remind someone of their hunger and have them eat.

43 -For the experiments, we'll be using the NAO robot, as well as a laptop for the participants to complete the questionnaires on. The questionnaire will be a combination of questions regarding the emotional state of the participants, their interaction with the robot, and the music included in the interaction. Food will also be there to see and measure how much people will eat.
