20 20  The study will be conducted on approximately twenty people in the early stages of dementia. To avoid too much gender imbalance, there will be at least five men and five women. For the same reason, we hope to find at least five people around 50 or younger, although we expect most participants to be over 70 years old.
21 -The participants will be selected based on a pool of PwD who live at home and need regular visits from an HPC. Only the volunteers will be kept for the experiment. The participants must have no experience of a Pepper robot helping with dementia.
22 -As our experiment involves the PwD in their home environment, relatives and healthcare professionals (HPC) will also be involved in the process: although not being the targets of the experiment, they will contribute to obtaining the measurements and results.

31 31  The PwD will live their daily life, without Pepper in the beginning, then accompanied by Pepper, as if they were not under any experiment. The fact that they actually are will obviously affect their behavior. Yet, we hope that not being recorded and being under a non-invasive experiment will help them not to stress out and may make them live their life as normally as possible.
32 -The tasks performed during the evaluation by Pepper, by the PwD, and by Pepper and the PwD together, will be decided in consultation with the HPC (and potentially the relatives) based on the needs of each patient.

36 36  We are planning to make behavioral and emotional measurements.
37 -Behavioral measurements are the actions that the PwD is going to perform during the week, so it can be considered as subjective quantitative data. This will involve the relatives, the HPC, and the PwD themselves to quantify whether the use of Pepper did actually result in an increase in autonomy for the PwD.
38 -Emotional measurements are more related to the state of mind, change of expression, and mood, so they can be considered as qualitative data. This can be measured by frequent talks with the PwD, either by the relatives or the HPC.
39 -Measures will be done by oral discussions with the PwD, HPC, and relatives.

45 -During weeks 2 and 3, the PwD, the HPC, and the relatives will be introduced to Pepper, with the goal of getting used to it.

97 +==== Questionnairs ====
98 +
99 +In order to collect qualitative data, we have prepared two questionnaires to give to the participants: the affect assessment questionnaire and the system assessment questionnaire.
100 +
101 +**affect assessment**
102 +
103 +The affect assessment questionnaire asks the participant to describe his/her mood and feelings experienced during a task. The questionnaire is given two times: once before the experiments and once after. When compiling the questionnaire before the experiment the task that is taken as a reference is chosen by the participant based on his/her most common daily, challenging tasks. When doing the questionnaire after the interaction with Pepper the questions reference the task that has just been completed with Pepper. The purpose of this questionnaire is to compare the feelings experienced by the participant during a typical task with the feelings experienced during the task with Pepper. The questionnaire has 6 questions in total and they are s designed to answer research questions as listed below:

105 +Questionnaire questions:
106 +
107 +1. I felt frustrated by the difficulty of the task
108 +1. I felt frustrated by the lack of help

110 +1. I felt embarrassed when asking for help
111 +1. The task was easier than usual
112 +1. I enjoyed the task more than usual

114 +Research questions:
115 +
116 +1. To what extent has Pepper improved the task's experience? [Questions: 1,2,3,4,5,6]
117 +1. Did pepper make it easier to ask for help? [Questions: 2,4]
118 +1. Did pepper make it easier to perform the task? [Questions: 1,5]
119 +
120 +**system assessment**
121 +
122 +The system assessment questionnaire is given after the interaction with Pepper and its purpose is to assess the participant's experience with pepper in more detail. The questionnaire has 12 questions which are designed to answer research questions as described below:

124 +
125 +Questionnaire questions:
126 +
127 +1. It was easy to understand each step from Pepper’s explanation
128 +1. I would have preferred if Pepper divided the task into more, easier steps
129 +1. The tablet images were very helpful for the task
130 +1. I felt annoyed by Pepper’s explanations
131 +1. I felt accomplished after completing the task
132 +1. I felt that completing the task was my own accomplishment
133 +1. The presence of Pepper made the task more enjoyable
134 +1. I felt reassured that I could ask pepper to repeat the task
135 +1. I felt pressured by Pepper to complete the task
136 +1. I would trust pepper with more important tasks
137 +1. I felt in control of the interaction with Pepper
138 +1. I believed that pepper cared about helping me

141 +
142 +1. To what extent did Pepper improve the task's experience? [Questions: 4,5,6,7,8,9,10]

144 +1. To what extent did Pepper improve the participant's sense of accomplishment? [Questions: 5]
145 +1. Did the participant perceive Pepper as a social agent? [Questions: 7, 9, 12]
