Abstract
The gap between gerontological design research and interior design practice that can apply this knowledge is addressed. A validation study was conducted of the Elderly Resident Housing Assessment Program (ERHAP) to test the hypothesis that a computerized artificial intelligence system is a comprehensive and reliable home evaluation tool for identifying housing inadequacies among older residents. The following research questions were asked: (1) When does the expert panel identify the same inadequacies as the computer program? (2) When does the expert panel identify inadequacies the computer program misses? (3) When does the computer program identify inadequacies that the expert panel misses?
