rater training using concrete behavioral anchors. Results:17 participants were recruited in two nursing homes, suffering from moderate to severe stages of dementia according to the Global Deterioration Scale. Multimodal sensor data and behavioral annotations were obtained for all 17 participants; videos were recorded for a subgroup of 8 participants during 29 consecutive days. Cohens Kappa of the video annotations was 0.75 for repetitive mannerisms, and 0.84 for pacing behavior. Further results will be presented at the conference. Conclusions:We obtained an extensive multimodal data set of naturally occurring challenging behavior in people with moderate to severe dementia. This data set was obtained in the routine setting of two nursing homes, in cooperation with nursing staff and scientists of different domains such as cognitive psychology, computer and nursing science and medicine. Using these data, sensor features will be developed to identify challenging behavior.
