Abstract

Mild Cognitive Impairment refers to a borderline state between healthy aging and dementia. Memory-training program plays a crucial role in the reduction of the possible conversion in dementia and a robot mediated memory training is useful to overcome limits of traditional programs. The present study addresses the effectiveness of a system in automatically recognize facial expression from video recorded sessions of a robot mediated memory training lasted 2 months involving 21 patients. The system is able to recognize facial expressions from group sessions handling partially occluded faces. Findings showed that in all participants the system is able to recognize facial expressions.
