“…It is suggested that an increase in stress makes young people talk less naturally and fluently. This is in agreement with the study (Iwamoto et al, 2017 ), which indicated that young volunteers feel discomfort depending on the type of photo. Young people spoke less when they were emotionally frustrated during times of stress.…”

“…The nature, concern, stress scale is based on some previous studies (Iwamoto et al, 2017 ; Xiaochun et al, 2019 ) and previous surveys of young people, which concluded that the main factors affecting emotions of young people when having a two-generation conversation are whether the conversation can be carried out smoothly and continuously, the level of interest in the topic, and the perceived pressure. Therefore, the NCS scale (see Appendix ) was designed to assess emotional state of young people based on these three factors.…”

“…Taking into account whether or not stress is felt during the conversation between the two generations is also an important factor influencing emotion during reminiscence therapy, the stress dimension was added to the emotion assessment form with values ranging from 1 to 7, indicating no stress at all to extremely. The nature, concern, stress scale is based on some previous studies (Iwamoto et al, 2017;Xiaochun et al, 2019) and previous surveys of young people, which concluded that the main factors affecting emotions of young people when having a twogeneration conversation are whether the conversation can be carried out smoothly and continuously, the level of interest in the topic, and the perceived pressure. Therefore, the NCS scale (see Appendix) was designed to assess emotional state of young people based on these three factors.…”

“…However, the conversations between the older people and the young volunteers lasted longer when using photos. Iwamoto et al ( 2017 ) used facial expression analysis to determine whether young volunteers felt frustrated and uncomfortable when talking to the older people and found that the level of uncomfortableness depended on the category of the photos. However, only four photo categories of food, home appliances, and play and festival events were studied.…”

A Library of Old Photos Supporting Conversation of Two Generations Serving Reminiscence Therapy

In Japan, a shift in family patterns has led to a sense of social isolation among older people, which increases the risk of major neurocognitive disorder. Interventions for them using old photos to implement reminiscence therapy (RT) have been proved to be effective. A super-aged society has in turn led to a shortage of medical resources and older people prefer home care over institutional care. Therefore, there is an urgent need for volunteers to help in RT. However, the age of volunteers tends to be increasingly younger. The lack of knowledge and experience of the past for the young volunteers makes it difficult for them to select appropriate stimulated materials. To improve this situation, a library of old photos for RT was developed to support conversation between the two generations. A two-factor experiment and emotion assessment scales were designed to explore the effect of different old photo types on the fluency of conversation between the two generations and their emotion. It was found that the types of old photos have little effect on older people and that conversations were almost pleasant. However, the pleasantness of older people was enhanced when using photos that they wanted to talk about (P = 0.006). Meanwhile, pleasure in conversation of the older people increased with the attention of the young people to the topic (R = 0.304, p < 0.001). Conversely, photo type has a strong impact on young people. When photos are selected that older people do not want to talk about or photos that young people do not know the content and are not interested in, concern for the topic of young people drops dramatically. Therefore, when RT, it is important to avoid using the types of photos above that cause a drop in younger people's attention.

“…We then converted the cartoon character into a nine-value scale (values ranging from −4 to 4, representing "not at all" to "extremely"). It was proved in related studies that whether or not the older people felt stress in the conversation was also an important factor that affects emotions during reminiscence therapy (Iwamoto et al, 2017). Therefore, we added the stress level rating (values from 1 to 7, indicating "no stress at all" to "extremely") to the selfassessment form (shown in Appendix I and the details can be found in Supplementary Material).…”

Objective: Numerous communication support systems based on reminiscence therapy have been developed. However, when using communication support systems, the emotional assessment of older people is generally conducted using verbal feedback or questionnaires. The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of using Electroencephalography (EEG) signals for automatic emotion recognition during RT for older people.Participants: Eleven older people (mean 71.25, SD 4.66) and seven young people (mean 22.4, SD 1.51) participated in the experiment.Methods: Old public photographs were used as material for reminiscence therapy. The EEG signals of the older people were collected while the older people and young people were talking about the contents of the photos. Since emotions change slowly and responses are characterized by delayed effects in EEG, the depth models LSTM and Bi-LSTM were selected to extract complex emotional features from EEG signals for automatic recognition of emotions.Results: The EEG data of 8 channels were inputted into the LSTM and Bi-LSTM models to classify positive and negative emotions. The recognition highest accuracy rate of the two models were 90.8% and 95.8% respectively. The four-channel EEG data based Bi-LSTM also reached 94.4%.Conclusion: Since the Bi-LSTM model could tap into the influence of “past” and “future” emotional states on the current emotional state in the EEG signal, we found that it can help improve the ability to recognize positive and negative emotions in older people. In particular, it is feasible to use EEG signals without the necessity of multimodal physiological signals for emotion recognition in the communication support systems for reminiscence therapy when using this model.

Older adults’ daily conversations with other older adults enable them to connect to their surrounding communities and improve their friendships. However, typical aging processes and fluctuations in family caring might cause conversation changes. The purpose of this study was to explore the quantitative contributions of conversation turns (CTs) and speaking roles (SRs) in Mandarin-Chinese-speaking conversation dyads between mutually familiar healthy older adults (HOAs). A total of 20 HOAs aged 65 or over were recruited. Each dyad conversed for ten minutes once a week for five weeks, five sessions per dyad, for a total of 50 sessions. The frequency and percentages of the coded CTs and SRs contributed by each HOA were individually tallied and calculated. Quantitatively symmetrical contributions of CTs and SRs occurred in Mandarin-Chinese-speaking conversation dyads between mutually familiar HOAs. Although typical aging processes might change conversations, both Mandarin-Chinese-speaking HOAs serve as active interlocutors to each other in taking CTs and SRs to co-construct their conversation processes and content in their dyadic conversation. Sufficient knowledge of conversation co-constructions might lead them to have more supportive environments to connect to surrounding communities and improve their friendships.
