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 focus on the prototype's potential effects, which are based on the desired value of autonomy as a part of self-direction.

3 The study will investigate the claims on the following questions:
4
5 ~1. Does the design increase the sense of //autonomy //in PwD?
6
7 2. Does the design positively affect PwD's //affective //state?
8
9 3. Is the design //dependable//; do PwD sense that they can rely on it?
