13 13  We added a short piece of music before each activity. We are using the same music for all activities now, but we could also set different music for different activities. In this way, PwDs could build associations with certain activities. Whenever a piece of specific music is playing, the PwD would know which activity he/she is going to do.

16 16  Music can help PwDs to relax. It is easy to startle PwD if Pepper suddenly starts to talk. Therefore, Pepper plays gentle music to relax the PwD, and also the PwD would know Pepper will talk soon, so they would not get startled.
