2.2 | 1 | In this section, we will outline the measuring instruments used to evaluate our prototype and a motivation for using each of them. During the lecture on evaluation, we were presented with the DECIDE [[(Preece et al., 2015, Chapter 13)>>http://oro.open.ac.uk/29638/]] framework and the IMPACT (Benyon et al., 2005) framework. |

2.2 | 5 | *D*etermine the goals: our aim is to develop a robot that can assist PwD living in a care home on their daily walks. The idea is that PwD will perceive a higher level of autonomy when they walk with a robot dog, assuming it is tailored to their needs, compared to walking with a caretaker. PwDs do not want to put the burden on their loved ones and caretakers to assist them with conducting their daily activities in general. |

2.2 | 7 | *E*xplore the questions: our research questions are defined on our [[Test>>https://xwiki.ewi.tudelft.nl/xwiki/wiki/sce2022group02/view/Test/]] page and include a motivation. To consider different people's attitude towards walking with a robot dog, we have constructed multiple [[personas>>https://xwiki.ewi.tudelft.nl/xwiki/wiki/sce2022group02/view/Foundation/Operational%20Demands/Personas/]] to help guide us in our development. |

| 9 | *C*hoose evaluation approach and methods: these are also described on our [[Test>>https://xwiki.ewi.tudelft.nl/xwiki/wiki/sce2022group02/view/Test/]] page. Briefly, we aim to obtain quantative data to answer our research questions. In addition, during the experiment, we will observe the participants casually and note any remarkable behavior. For the PwD who is prone to falling, we will test its effectiveness by means of //dogfooding// as this would be difficult if not unethical to evaluate empirically. | ||

| 11 | *I*dentify practical issues: we already foresee due to the scope of the course and the current COVID-19 situation that it will be impossible to evaluate our prototype with our intended target group. We account for this problem in our experiment by instructing participants to act like persons with early-to-mid stage dementia. Naturally, the confounding factor that will influence the outcome is that participants may interpret the role of the persona they enact very differently and will answer questions depending on their interpretation. | ||
