This two-year, $138,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program will fund research into the development of social cognition in children. Specifically, the grant supports an early career scientist to conduct a large-scale investigation examining how children's understanding of other minds emerges throughout the preschool years. Leveraging recent advances in online developmental science, the fellow will validate an updated mental state...
This $276,000 two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences program will support computational and developmental research into children's self-representations and learning decisions. Specifically, the awardee will build a quantitative computational model integrating children's self-observations and social feedback to explain self-concept development. This model will be tested against adult data and developmental findings. It will also be...
This $699,977 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to investigate the impact of bilingualism on inhibitory control processes and executive function. The project, conducted by Nova Southeastern University, Inc., will use electroencephalography to directly measure brain activity while English-speaking monolinguals and Spanish/English bilinguals perform executive function tasks. The...
This two-year, $138,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program will support research investigating Latinx caregiver preparation for discussing immigration status with children in mixed-status families. The grant recipient, an early career scientist, will conduct a mixed-methods study from the perspective of caregivers in Latinx households with unauthorized immigrant parents. In Phase 1, the recipient will interview caregivers to...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, supports research on the cultural contexts and developmental outcomes of childhood exploration and interactions with nature. The $142,165 award, effective September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2026, will examine children's independent exploration and time spent in different environments (e.g., green spaces versus playgrounds) across two societies where such...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program funds a $649,851 study to examine family-level factors that contribute to the co-development of "theory of mind" and narrative comprehension skills in early childhood. The research team at The Ohio State University will conduct a longitudinal study testing preschoolers' abilities in these areas at three time points over three years. The project will...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to uncover the core cognitive underpinnings of children's ability to learn and reason about arithmetic and probability across cultures with differential exposure to mathematics education. With $932,679 in funding from September 2024 to August 2029, the project will first characterize indigenous methods for arithmetic and then test Tsimane' children's understanding of...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $149,999 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) to conduct a series of experiments exploring the cognitive benefits of bilingualism across the lifespan.
