“…These effects were achieved in spite of the robot's touch being a degraded representation of an actual human touch. This corroborates earlier findings regarding mediated social touch (e.g., (Huisman, 2017b)). We however need to acknowledge that robot-initiated touches did not sort effects on the majority of the measures.…”

“…One of the main conceptual differences between the findings regarding the physicalsocial warmth link and application of physical warmth in mediated social touch, is that the warmth in the latter would be attributed to a social source rather than to a nonsocial physical stimulus (Huisman, 2017b;Schirmer et al, 2011). The accompanying question (RQ2.2) was whether this attribution would affect the strength of the anticipated beneficial effects of warmth.…”

“…Therefore, it may be better to consider the CT afferent pathway a means to detect and process specific affective aspects of touch. It may be more accurate to speak of an affective touch hypothesis (Huisman, 2017b;McGlone et al, 2014).…”

“…Moreover, an impression of different implementations (i.e., the use of different haptic actuators and materials) is provided. For more examples, as well as more elaborate descriptions of the prototypes, I refer to: (Gallace & Spence, 2010;Haans & IJsselsteijn, 2006;Huisman, 2017aHuisman, , 2017b; van Erp & Toet, 2015). The development of the vast majority of mediated touch devices did not go beyond the point of a 'conceptual prototype' that demonstrates the idea and technical feasibility.…”

“…Another distinction can be made whether touch is used instrumentally, as part of a task, or as an expressive form, which is more emotional [6]. We refer the reader to [15] for an overview and several studies on technology addressing social touch and emotional aspects. Touch can be an effective stimulus, but in order to attract people with dementia, and in order to establish interaction, the objects should look inviting and meaningful [17].…”

Many nursing homes for dementia patients struggle with residents that wander towards the exit with the intention of leaving. Several types of interventions have been used to deal with this issue. Unfortunately, many of them are quite forceful, or are unsuitable for the specific context of certain nursing homes. In this paper, we investigate the possibility to using a more playful persuasive intervention. The design itself is in the form of a lost puppy, equipped with several actuators and sensors, that has to be brought 'home', in order to steer residents unknowingly away from the exit. Our first pilot indicated that residents noticed the puppy and showed interest in the device, and might be distracted from the exit. However, the puppy in its current form did not yet lead the residents away from the exit. Based on our contextual analyses, related work, and received feedback, we share our design insights which could be helpful for creating playful interventions for people with dementia.

scientific artifacts during the whole research lifecycle, from data creation to publication of results (Simms et al., 2016).Likewise, academic stakeholders, such as public funders and library services, tend to agree that scientific practices such as those listed earlier, need a response from a research governance point of view. For instance, several public funders get more involved at the start of research projects by implementing more stringent rules for managing research data (Akers, 2017; European Commission, 2016b). These new requirements from funders led to universities' efforts to invest in research data management with technology, human resources, and training to support researchers 1 Data from Digital Science, Dimensions, available from https://app.dimensions.ai and accessed on July 8, 2020, under a license agreement.Chapter outcomes of proper data management from the start of a research project. One side-effect is that datasets can also become the target of quantitative analysis of the publication landscape.
