The Approximate Number System and Mathematical Abilities in Chinese Preschoolers With and Without Autism Spectrum Disorder
Mathematical abilities are critical for the developmental outcomes of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, little is known about these abilities and their association with the approximate number system (ANS) in preschoolers with ASD beyond Western samples, including Chinese children. This cross-sectional study examined whether formal and informal mathematical abilities differed between children with and without ASD and assessed …
A framework for developing university policies on generative AI governance: A cross-national comparative study
As generative AI (GAI) becomes increasingly embedded in higher education, universities worldwide are developing policies to govern its ethical, pedagogical, and institutional use. However, these policies vary across national and institutional contexts. We undertake a cross-national analysis of GAI guidelines issued by leading universities in the United States, Japan, and China, identifying key policy orientations and proposing a structured framew…

Reading comprehension and mental subtraction in deaf and hard of hearing children: The moderating role of grade level
Prior studies have documented an association between reading comprehension and arithmetical skills. However, the underlying processes that might moderate these associations, particularly while accounting for general cognitive abilities, remain unclear. This study investigated whether grade level moderated the relationship between reading comprehension and mental subtraction in deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) children, after controlling for intelli…

A lexical comparison of the public good of higher education: Concepts, contextual underpinnings and implications, focusing on Japanese, Chinese and English
While it is generally agreed that higher education is a public good and produces public goods, it remains unclear what this means. An important reason for the unclarity is the conceptual ambiguity and cultural nuances of the concept of the public good in higher education. Coupled with the Western dominance of discourse in higher education and language challenges in translation, the ambiguity and nuances further result in challenges for studies th…
