Abstract

In the past decade, Singapore population has grown older with more elderly and fewer younger people. As such, government encourages research initiatives providing solutions to improve mental health and memory functions. In this paper, we discuss a within-subject experiment that we carried out to measure the impact of humour on information retention in senior citizens interacting with a chatbot. The recall and recognition rates of both humorous and non-humorous responses supported the hypothesis that humour aids recognition, but could not provide strong support for recall. We hope that studies going forward can assist the innovation of intelligent systems for other target groups and uses as well.
