26 -The values related to this can be found in Schwartz. These values include Self-direction, in the sense that it gives them more freedom, but also security, in the sense that they still recognize and belong to the social order they are used to.
26 +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 subject might want to experience more (intellectual/emotional) freedom, but also security, as the subject wants to remain in the social order they are used to.
27 +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. The Zones of Proximal Development (ZPD) (8), can be extended to provide a guide in establishing this balance.

28 -It is important to consider the balance between important truthful information and upsetting information; Too much (irrelevant) information might upset the pwd. Supported by the Zones of Proximal Development (source?), a person has a range in which content difficulty and skill level have the right proportions to learn. Extending this to dementia patients: The information difficulty and the dementia progression are symmetrically (negatively) correlated.

31 +As shown, the ZPD gives a ratio between skill level and content difficulty in which a child can learn from information. If we extend this to a subject with dementia, we could similarly compare mental state and information completeness. I.e. there is a range of acceptable information to provide to the subject, given their mental state (eg. dementia progression, emotion level).
