This paper looks at how a set of 11 universal human needs is used as the basis for organizing a view of research methods appropriate to designing environments for people with dementia. The author discusses the advantages and disadvantages of four general approaches: consumer surveys, direct behaviour observation, expert judgements, and experimental designs. Systematic qualitative observational methods are suggested as a mode for generating and organizing user-friendly data for designing environments for people with dementia.
