13 13  There are some important values to be considered in the development of the above solution. From the basic human values given by Schwartz [7], we can for example take self-direction, as a PwD might want to experience more (intellectual/emotional) freedom, but also security, as the PwD wants to remain in the social order they are used to.
14 14  Another principal value is the balance between complete information given by the encyclopedia and the emotional response, both positive and negative, the given information elicits. Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) [6] and the related Scaffolding Theory [8] may provide a guide in establishing this balance.

16 +The Zone of Proximal Development defines a ratio between skill level and content difficulty in which a child can learn from information. The closely related Scaffolding Theory underlines the importance of proper assistance for a novice in achieving some goal. Although both theories are usually called upon in the context of children's development, they certainly have some relevance in memory regression. From both theories, we learn that it is important to not only support the PwD in their goal to maintain memories about loved ones, but to also do it at an appropriate pace to avoid confusion and the negative emotions that come with that.
