1 -To ground the design rationale in practice, the prototype of the NAO for PwD will be evaluated in a formative evaluation with the PwD (subject) and their caregivers. The evaluation will investigate the process of how interaction with the NAO can alleviate potential symptoms caused by early-stage dementia in PwD.  The study will be conducted focused on the prototype's potential effects, which are based on desired values of self-direction, security and conformity.
1 +To ground the design rationale in practice, the prototype of the NAO for the subject will be evaluated in a formative evaluation with the subject and their caregivers. The evaluation will investigate the process of how interaction with the NAO can alleviate potential symptoms caused by early-stage dementia in subjects.  Three methods of evaluation will be applied to have reliable and accurate results, as Bethel. et al (2020)[1] suggests.
2 +Three of these methods could be the Wizard of Oz method, the Thinking out loud method, and the Cooperative Evaluation method. Each of which can be concluded with a self-assessment expressed in questions posed to the subjects. This combination of evaluation methods allows for the results to have an input from the subject as well as input from the experts method.

3 -The study will investigate the claims on the following questions:

5 -~1. Does the design increase the sense of autonomy in PwD?
5 +The study will focus on the prototype's potential effects, which are based on the desired value of autonomy as a part of self-direction. Before the study, possible confounding variables need to be examined such as the subject's attitude towards robots and the **autonomy, relatedness** and **security**.

7 -2. Does the design have a positive effect on PwD's emotional/affective state?

9 -3. Is the design dependable; do PwD sense that they can rely on it?

12 -**Positive effects:**
13 +2. **Relatedness. **Does the design positively affect the subject's //affective //state? Do subjects //like// the system?
13 13  
14 -**//Measuring sense of autonomy~://**
15 +NOTE: I feel that maybe the statement above is not really what relatedness means? I think it means feeling connectedness to their relatives
15 15  
16 -//Have the PwD rate themselves on a scale 1-5.//
17 +3. **Security. **Is the design //dependable//; is the design accessible enough for the subject to rely on it? Does it feel natural?
17 17  
18 -//Have the relatives rate the PwD on a scale 1-5.//
19 19  
20 -//Evaluate how often PwD asks for clarification in a conversation with relatives in #Questions asked.//
20 +For a sample size as small as 20 participants, it is most adequate to apply a within-subjects design (they require fewer participants) [1]. That means there is an approach where every subject is experiencing all of the conditions examined. A within-subjects design might be prone to confounds such as pre-existing notions in the environment. That is why the attitude towards robots and the pre-study sense of affect and autonomy should be examined and evaluated as such. Another confounder variable to look into is the study location and environment.
