16

Tangible device affords people with dementia to interact with technology through familiar artefacts

Reminiscence sessions need to be guided by caregiver People with dementia need motivation

Caregivers need to be sensitive to the reactions of residents

Multimedia content from the 50s triggered personal narratives and remembering facts

Especially emotional content like music triggered reactions
