“…In the last decade, several designers have focused on the development of interactive technologies for people with dementia (see Figure 1). Some examples are Tactile dialogues (Schelle et al, 2015) -a textile pillow provided with a haptic feedback aimed at stimulating interpersonal contact, Tovertafel (Anderiesen, 2017) -a set of six playful interactive animations to be played on any dining table aimed at reducing apathy, Dynamorph (Feng et al, 2017) -a living table activated by mean of four zoomorphic robotlike shapes aimed at reducing boredom and loneliness, and Closer to nature (Feng et al, 2018) -an interactive installation that projects a farm on a 87-inch-display aimed at connecting residents with the outdoors. The ENGAGE-DEM can provide designers with a measurement framework to assess the quality of user experience in people with dementia.…”

“…She recognized the limitations of the traditional educational model and proposed a framework that was implemented in schools for promoting experiential learning and social justice (Aktas, 2017). The Montessori methodology proposed that children can learn better when complex tasks are broken into several steps, following a logical order from simple to complex stages, from concrete to abstract thinking, and making students move only a little beyond their comfort zone whilst for preserving the ability to improve their knowledge (Feng et al, 2017). It is an educational method very practical which is capable to influence changes in the current societies (Aktas, 2017).…”

The elderly population of the world is growing fast. The aging phenomenon causes changes in the body’s systems, leading to mental and emotional disorders. Dementia is established as one of the most important challenges associated with the aging process. In this respect, the Montessori-based cognitive rehabilitation program is an increasingly popular choice in dementia care. Therefore, we decided to conduct a review study on the effect of Montessori therapy on different psychological aspects of the elderly with dementia. This narrative review was performed using narrative synthesis. An extensive literature search was performed in databases of ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, PubMed, and ISI Web of Knowledge using OR, AND, and NOT operators and the selected keywords. Only studies published in journals between March 2010 and March 2022 were used for this purpose. The articles chosen in this study were those that have studied the effect of a Montessori-based cognitive rehabilitation program on the elderly with dementia. Studies that involved the Montessori program on other neurological disorders were excluded. Finally, 32 articles were selected from the final evaluation. It can be concluded that the Montessori program effectively reduces anxiety, destructive behavior, and agitation, increases pleasure, hope, optimism, job satisfaction, social skills, and cognitive function, and improves the quality of life and feeding capacity.
