Clara Stiller 2.4 1 The best way to test our prototype would be a study with persons with dementia. Still, testing the robot in a real environment would be very time-consuming, because it is not predictable if and when persons with dementia start wandering. That is out of scoop for our project.
2 However, we want to get a first impression of how realistic and convincing the provided dialogues and suggested activities are. In a small study with students, who play the role of having dementia, we are observing the interaction with the robot and want to find out how effective it is in preventing people from wandering.

Clara Stiller 2.3 10 1. What percentage of people are kept in? (Quantitative)
11 1. Can the robot respond appropriately to the participants mood?
12 1. Does the activity that the robot suggests prevent people from wandering/ leaving?
13 1. How do the participants react on the music?

Xin Wan 1.2 15 = Method =
Simran  Karnani 1.6 16 A between subject study with students who play the role of having dementia. Data will be collected by observing the participant's body language and the way that they're responding to Pepper.

Xin Wan 1.2 18 == Participants ==
Simran  Karnani 1.7 19 20 students who play the role of having dementia. They will be divided into two groups. One group will be interacting with the unintelligent robot while the other will interact with the intelligent robot.
Simran  Karnani 1.8 20 It is assumed that all participants are living at the same care center.
Simran  Karnani 1.9 21 Before they start, they can choose how stubborn they want to be and how progressed their stage of dementia is.

Xin Wan 1.2 23 == Experimental design ==
Clara Stiller 2.3 24 The RQ's are exploratory research.
Simran  Karnani 1.11 25 1. Observe how natural the conversation is. (conversation makes sense)
Clara Stiller 2.3 26 1. Observe whether the mood is improved and decision has been changed.
27 1. Participant's fill out questionnaire.
28 1. Observe participant's mood and see how the conversation goes. Observe level of aggression (tone, volume, pace)
29 The first question collects quantitative data, where the number of people who were stopped will be counted.

Xin Wan 1.2 31 == Tasks ==
Simran  Karnani 1.13 32 The participant should be on their way out of the building. The participant and robot have an interaction where robot is trying to convince the participant to stay inside.

Xin Wan 1.2 35 == Measures ==
Simran  Karnani 1.14 36 We will be measuring this physically and emotionally.
37 Physically: whether the participant was stopped from leaving the building or not.
38 Emotionally: evaluate their responses to the robot and observe their mood before and after the interaction.

Xin Wan 1.2 41 == Procedure ==
Bart Vastenhouw 1.1 42
Simran  Karnani 1.15 43 1. Starts with a short briefing on what we expect from the participant.
44 2. Let them fill out the informed consent form.
45 3. Ask the participant about their background.
Simran  Karnani 1.16 46 4. Let the user interact with the robot (Either version A or B)
Simran  Karnani 1.15 47 5. While user is interacting, we will be observing the conversation and their moods.
Simran  Karnani 1.16 48 6. Let user fill out the questionnaire about their experience after the interaction.
