	3	+The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Nao robot in aiding memory retrieval through the use of a between-subjects design with a test group and a control group. We will simulate conditions of early-stage dementia in student participants to test whether interactions with Nao enhance the retrieval of memories fabricated created by us, mimicking lost memories typical of individuals with dementia.

	10	+As actual PwDs are not available for this research, the participants will consist of several student volunteers. These will be divided into two groups: those using the Nao robot for memory retrieval (the test group) and those using text-based prompts (the control group).

	15	+Materials for the test group include the NAO robot, an OpenAI chatbot running on a mobile phone, and a laptop to control the human-like movements of NAO, as described in the [[prototype>>doc:3\. Evaluation.a\. Prototype.WebHome]]. The control group requires written out text prompts instead.
	16	+Both groups require a set of fabricated memories, memory quizzes, writing materials, and evaluation forms for feedback. ** **

	21	+Memory retrieval success will be measured using a quiz based on the fabricated memories. Participant feedback and observational notes will also be collected to assess the user experience and interaction effectiveness.
	22	+We will evaluate the recall and memory-efficacy of both groups and try to relate the given answers to values **(link to evaluation in foundation) **such as autonomy and relatedness.

	29	+Participants will receive an overview of their role as a PwD and undergo a session with either Nao or text prompts to retrieve memories. Following the session, they will complete the memory quiz. Feedback will be gathered post-interaction.

27		-= 3. Results =
	33	+1. **NAO Robot Setup**: Confirm that Nao is fully operational and our team is equipped to facilitate the interactions by doing a pre-test/trial run with our prototype.
	34	+1. **Recruitment and Consent**: Recruit a diverse group of student volunteers, ensuring informed consent for participation.
	35	+1. **Training**: Brief participants on their roles and the concept of simulated memory loss without revealing specific details of the fabricated memories.

30		-= 4. Discussion =
	39	+1. **Pre-test**: Optionally, assess the students’ ability to recall general information unrelated to the fabricated memories to establish a baseline.
	40	+1. **Documentation**: Record responses to analyze as a baseline for later comparison.

32	32
33		-= 5. Conclusions =
	44	+1. **Introduction**: Introduce participants in the test group to the NAO robot, explaining its purpose, and provide the control group with their first text-based memory prompt.
	45	+1. **Simulation**: Conduct sessions where the test group interacts with Nao aiming to recall a set of fabricated memories.
	46	+1. **Analog control group simulation: **Conduct sessions with an analog encyclopedia with equally complex information on relatives.
	47	+1. **Memory Quiz**: Following each session, provide a written quiz to both groups based on the memories they were asked to retrieve.
	48	+1. **Documentation**: Collect the completed quizzes, which will serve as the primary documentation of memory retrieval.
	49	+
	50	+//**Phase 4: Evaluation**//
	51	+
	52	+1. **Scoring**: Assess the memory quizzes from both groups to evaluate the quantity and accuracy of retrieved memories.
	53	+1. **Analysis**: Compare the effectiveness of memory retrieval between the NAO-assisted group and the text-prompt group.
	54	+1. **Participant Feedback**: Gather feedback from all participants regarding their experience with the memory retrieval process through a questionnaire.
	55	+1. **Observer Notes**: Collect observations from staff regarding the interaction between participants and the Nao robot or text prompts.
	56	+
	57	+//**Phase 5: Feedback and Improvement**//
	58	+
	59	+1. **Participant Reflections**: Review participant feedback for insights into the memory retrieval process and suggestions for improvement.
	60	+1. **Staff and Observer Insights**: Analyze observations from staff and observers for additional perspectives on the effectiveness and emotional impact of the interactions.
	61	+1. **Improvement Strategies**: Based on the feedback and results, develop a plan to enhance the memory retrieval capabilities of the Nao robot and the overall test design.

	63	+== //**Ethical Considerations**// ==
	64	+
	65	+We commit to high ethical standards, respecting the sensitive nature of simulating dementia conditions, and ensuring the well-being and dignity of all participants throughout the study. To ensure this we present a form containing the ethical considerations to each participant. **TODO: put in link to ethics form?**
