Overview

While dementia may affect the way our minds work, we will always know what we like. Where biographical identity diminishes, but experiential identity and emotional memory is retained, experiencing pleasure from personal preferences in everyday surroundings has significance. If verbal communication becomes arduous, assumptions can be made about inability, leading to everyday decisions being made on our behalf. The resultant negative impact on sense of identity and agency in the context of intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships is recognized in dementia care. Consequently a strengths-based approach is advocated, where a focus on abilities can challenge negative assumptions. This study explores the role of research through design, using visual stimuli as probes, to support non-verbal expression of personal aesthetic preferences in the curation of personal space. This paper describes the development of methods using remote sensory ethnography to share personal preferences for everyday objects and colour in the context of home.

概述

虽然痴呆症可能会影响我们的思维方式，但我们将永远知道自己喜欢什么。在传记身份减少，但经验身份和情感记忆得以保留的情况下，在日常环境中从个人喜好中体验快乐具有重要意义。如果口头交流变得困难，则可以对无能做出假设，从而导致代表我们做出日常决定。在个人和人际关系的背景下，由此产生的对身份感和能动性的负面影响在痴呆症护理中得到认可。因此，提倡基于优势的方法，其中对能力的关注可以挑战负面假设。本研究通过设计探索研究的作用，使用视觉刺激作为探针，在个人空间的策划中支持个人审美偏好的非语言表达。本文描述了使用遥感民族志在家庭环境中分享个人对日常物品和颜色的偏好的方法的发展。
