+The main claims we are looking to test with this testing procedure are related to the functionality and usability of the robot. |
|

|

+The participants will be other students taking the course. The participants will be placed in the shoes of a PwD and be tasked with completing several basic actions with the robot while impaired in several known ways to simulate the difficulties of a PwD. |
|
10 |
+ |
|
11 |
+After the experiment, the participants will fill out a survey and be asked some more open ended questions with the purpose of understanding how the interaction with the robot went, and whether they have anything that they find concerning regarding the possible use of the system and its functions in a real life setting. |
|
12 |

|
13 |
+On top of this, a short questionnaire will be sent to several care homes throughout the Netherlands in hopes to get a general idea whether the caretakers at the facilities think that the system would be a good fit for the proposed use case. |

|
|
25 |
+For the experiment, we used a within-subject design. All of the participants interacted with both versions of the robot, with half of the participants interacting with version 1 first and then version 2, and the other half in reverse order. This was done to counter-balance the carryover effects. |

|
|
92 |
+The procedure was conducted as follows: |
| 23 |
23 |
|
|
94 |
+1. Welcome participants and give an introduction. |
|
95 |
+1. Get them to sign a consent form. |
|
96 |
+1. Prepare them to pretend to be a person with dementia. * |
|
97 |
+1. Have interaction with the robot and complete the tasks. |
|
98 |
+1. Complete a questionnaire. |
|
99 |
+1. Have a short interview with selected participants. (if possible, 2 participants) |
|
100 |
+ |
|
101 |
+//* Several fingers taped together (to simulate PwD's inability to control movements flexibly);// |
|
102 |
+ |
|
103 |
+// Wearing very dirty glasses (simulates blurred vision and degraded perception);// |
|
104 |
+ |
|
105 |
+// Wearing headphones that broadcast murmurs (simulating hearing degradation and the noisy environment).// |
