18		-For this study, we intend to find 20 people. The participants will all be early-stage dementia patients and we will make sure to include at least 5 males and 5 females to avoid gender imbalance. The group will include at least 5 people that are 50 or younger and we expect most of the other participants to be between 75 and 90. The participants will all join the same 3-hour session and will be given 5 to 10 minutes to perform their tasks.

47	47	1. Consent form. To protect the privacy of participants and ensure the evaluation process goes smoothly, we will ask participants to sign a consent form, indicating they are willing to take part in the evaluation and the data gathered from the experiment will be analyzed by researchers.
48		-1. Questionnaire. To get the best performance of our robot, participants need to take a questionnaire about their music preferences. We will play music according to each participant’s preference.

55	55	After the experiments and the evaluation, all the data will be collected and analyzed. There can be many different situations in the evaluation process.
56		-In the calendar reminder session, almost all participants have the right behavior after the robot’s prompts. For example, they would take the medicine after hearing “Medicine time!”, they would eat food after the prompt “It’s time to have lunch!”. However, there are still two participants who cannot perform the right behavior. One of them cannot hear the prompts clearly, because he has hearing problems. The other one shows a confused expression after hearing the instruction, which indicates he has some problems with understanding the prompts.
57		-For the music session, 15 of the participants can complete the music questionnaire quite well, which helps us to understand their music preferences and will have a positive influence on later evaluation. However, three of them can finish the questionnaire to some extent, but they cannot remember the name of some artists or the name of songs they like. Two of them are not able to complete the questionnaire.

58	58	When they are listening to the music, 18 of the participants show positive reactions, such as singing along, smiling, swinging to the music. The man with the hearing problems has little reaction. One of the participants who fail to complete the questionnaire also does not too much reaction. Maybe because he does not like the music or never heard the music before.
59		-In the Activity Breakdown session, 13 of the participants finish the tasks successfully. They can follow the robot’s instructions without any problems. Five of them follow the first few steps but fail in one of the tasks or do not have enough time to follow the robot. Two of them cannot perform the task from the beginning.
