Studies have shown that cognitive training which stimulates the patients' emotions and brain can help prevent the development of dementia. During Cognitive training, sympathetic and parasympathetic activity brings change in temperature distribution of the human body. Previous studies have shown that facial temperature changes during interaction between elderly and Therapeutic pet robots during cognitive tasks. But these studies only observed the presence and/or absence of a change in temperature rather than categorizing the change in temperature to specific levels of cognitive tasks. In this paper, we conduct quantitative assessment over time of the facial temperature using thermography to validate the functional process involved in thermoregulation and correlation between cognitive tasks. The results support the view that Infrared Thermography (IRT) has potential use in the measurement of cognitive work during elderly--therapeutic pet robot interaction and suggest further work is required to establish a more definitive relationship temperature dynamics and affects.
