Content: At the Center for Cognitive Science at the Technical University of Kaiserslautern, we are conducting a research study on dementia and everyday activities. We are interested in how people with dementia cope with everyday life. We would like to gain more detailed insights into problems in coping with everyday life, i.e. exactly which problems occur and which strategies are used to try to avoid problems. The results of the research study should help to anticipate problems in coping with everyday life in dementia patients and to develop appropriate assistance systems that enable them to live independently for longer and safely.

You can support us with your participation in the study.

Who are we looking for?

People with a diagnosed dementia who would like to talk to us.

Procedure of the study

You will be asked to provide information on everyday activities and to report on problems and personal strategies. You will also be asked to carry out some cognitive tasks. This will take about 45 minutes. You will receive 10 euros for your participation. We will be happy to send you more information and answer your questions.

Data protection and anonymity

The data is subject to data protection guidelines and is stored anonymously, i.e. without name and address. The study team is bound to confidentiality.
