In this study, we focus on a specific visual representation that is used across several mathematics and science content areas: the 'partitioned square' (PS). Previous research has examined PSs in single content areas in isolation, such as for mathematics polynomials or biology random mating, where the PS was generally in the service of other…

Children with developmental disabilities often have difficulty completing complex multistep tasks, such as daily living skills or leisure and play skills, which often occur in children's homes. The use of visual supports can increase the predictability of routines and clarify behavioral expectations for children with developmental disabilities.…

Language educators employ visual depictions of people for reasons including use as writing or conversation prompts, use as illustrations of vocabulary, or simply use as decoration. Despite research documenting so-called visual agism across mass media, there has been little attention to the issue in such language education materials. This project…

This study investigates the intriguing choice of frontispiece design in Kaitai Shinsho (1774), the first systematic Japanese translation of a Western anatomical text. While the main content of Kaitai Shinsho was translated from Johann Adam Kulmus's "Ontleedkundige Tafelen" (1734), its frontispiece notably deviates from Kulmus's original…
