Virtual Teaching Materials Developed for Elementary School Students to Foster Support Capabilities for Elderly People with Dementia.

We created teaching materials for elementary school students to foster their ability to understand and support elderly people correctly, including those with dementia, without prejudice. Pediatric awareness education by DVDs can positively capture the elderly with dementia, but it was difficult to learn in practice. There, Slide materials designed to encourage positive understanding of elderly people were used together with a Pepper to increase participants' interest material. Results suggest that simultaneous use of the slide materials and a Pepper maintains participants' interest and promotes understanding of elderly people, including those with dementia.
