The Fin, Fur, and Feather Bureau of Investigation (FFFBI) is a set of Internet-based games developed by the award winning WGBH Educational Foundation, based in Boston.
To create the Academy, WGBH collaborated with clinicians at the Alvin V. Baird Attention and Learning Disabilities Center (ALDC) at James Madison University to create and test FFFBI Academy content to focus on improving the organizational and learning behaviors of kids ages 8 to 13 with ADHD.
Each game is designed to teach useful skills and strategies, while continually encouraging players to complete increasingly difficult tasks. To increase interest, the FFFBI Academy uses a humorous spy theme and frequent reinforcements for successful game play.
This task requires kids to listen to six characters and answer questions related to the characters’ skills, backgrounds, and experiences. The game will not allow kids to proceed before all six character descriptions are played and the questions are answered correctly.
The questions become increasingly difficult with each round. In the later rounds, it becomes very likely that kids will need to listen to the descriptions more than once in order to correctly respond to the questions because the answer to some questions require information from the messages from two or more characters.
