This game uses an “amusement park theme to engage and motivate.” It helps children “build skill in facial recognition of emotion by: breaking concepts down into smaller pieces (clues), promoting clue acquisition via spaced repetition, checking for understanding of clues using new examples, combining clues for “part to whole” learning, and utilizing instruction that incorporates photos, mirror mimic sessions, and varied interaction.”
