  Another goal is to help reduce memory deterioration. This can be accomplished through an interactive quiz at the end of each day. As discussed in [[Music and Cognition]], music can play an important role in preventing memory loss, so the quiz will focus on associating daily tasks with a piece of music that the user likes. In order to avoid being too repetitive, the tasks in the quiz and their order will be changed. The user will be encouraged to try new activities and expand their daily list with new tasks (associated with music pieces), in order to improve their autonomy and competence.
