This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $104,114 to Haverford College to conduct research on the mechanisms underlying human language learning. The research aims to better understand how people construct mental representations of words and learn the morphological and phonological patterns that govern language. The project will develop interpretable computational models and algorithms...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $160,000 supports an early career scientist's postdoctoral research at Harvard University investigating the potential role of overheard speech in children's language development. The research aims to thoroughly characterize everyday overheard and child-directed speech, and to understand how speech directed to different addressees may facilitate language learning. Using both...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $711,202 Project Grant to the University of Wisconsin - Madison to study how children's word meanings and vocabulary development impact their long-term outcomes. The grant is funded through the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, which supports basic research to advance scientific understanding and promote the welfare of the nation. The key products of this 3-year...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $204,593 to The MGH Institute Of Health Professions, Inc. in Charlestown, MA will fund the development of a "challenge suite" - a dataset and evaluation tool - to systematically study and compare different mathematical models of how humans learn language through unsupervised pattern detection. The key products to be delivered under this grant include: A comprehensive...
