Abstract

This paper explores the potential of adaptive network modeling for joint action and memory recall among elderly through detecting interpersonal synchrony. With the aging population increasing, there is a crucial need to focus on the health and social interaction of older adults. Based on research of the significance of social interaction and memory use for the elderly, as well as the role of interpersonal synchrony in joint action, this paper aims to analyse computationally how to enhance positive effects of social interactions among older individuals by applying an adaptive network model. The research examines the concept of interpersonal synchrony and its impact on joint action, memory, and emotional well-being in elderly populations. Through simulation experiments and analysis, the study demonstrates the potential benefits for music in memory recall for older adults with cognitive decline, highlighting the importance of social interaction and emotional resonance. This study offers a valuable contribution to understanding and improving social interactions and memory recall among the elderly.
