Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Minju Hong's research investigates the impact of animal-assisted therapy on children with autism spectrum disorder. Her work has explored the effects of such therapy on prosocial behavior and emotional regulation, considering variations in verbal abilities among autistic children. Hong has also examined the neuroanatomical distribution of galectin-3 in adult rat brains. Her broader research interests extend to educational contexts, including meta-analyses of professional development programs in science education and the application of machine learning to predict student performance in mathematics and scientific literacy on standardized assessments. She has also utilized topic modeling techniques to analyze interdisciplinary understanding in students.
