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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Postdoctoral Research Fellowship award in the amount of $160,000 supports a two-year research project examining how children aged 7-12 understand and trust the capabilities of generative AI chatbots. The research involves a mixed-methods study across two phases - an initial experiment to assess children's trust in AI vs. human-provided information and their ability to identify common AI chatbot errors,...
This $378,185 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The grant supports research at the University of Chicago to investigate how children's perceptions of others' competence are shaped by the way those individuals are spoken to. Specifically, the project aims to explore how stereotyped beliefs about certain student groups may...
This $160,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a postdoctoral fellowship to investigate how children develop communicative competence through peer interactions. The key objectives are to collect and analyze a large dataset of child-child conversations, develop computational models comparing communicative acts across adult-adult, parent-child, and child-child contexts, and conduct...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $320,000 in funding to Northeastern University to conduct research on the neurocognitive development of adolescent learning. The goal is to understand the cognitive and brain mechanisms related to learning from experience, and how these change from childhood to adolescence and young adulthood. The project will use behavioral, computational, and neuroimaging...
This $577,409 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program will fund research at American University to study infant visual object recognition and its implications for computational models of human vision. Over a three-year period from September 2022 to August 2025, researchers will use electroencephalography to analyze how 12-15 month old infants represent and process visual objects. Results will be compared to predictions from...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) supports research examining the development of cooperative norms and behaviors in childhood. The $214,408 award to Trustees of Boston College, doing business as Boston College, will fund a series of longitudinal behavioral studies, computational modeling, and motor movement tracking to investigate how internal motives, in addition to external factors,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $160,000 to support a 2-year postdoctoral research fellowship. The award, made on September 1, 2024, will enable an early career scientist to investigate how children develop stereotypes about social groups, such as racial and gender groups, and how to disrupt such stereotypes. The project will examine whether children might naturally develop...
This $191,980 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program funds research examining the impact of displacement, particularly due to conflicts and climate change, on the development of social preferences and trust in children and adolescents. The project will evaluate fairness, trust, trustworthiness, cooperation, and gender-specific social norms through behavioral economics experiments and a randomized controlled...
This $325,000 National Science Foundation project grant to Carnegie Mellon University, funded through the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), will support research examining the neural basis of mathematical cognition in early childhood and potential gender differences. The four-year award beginning September 2022 will fund the collection of longitudinal functional magnetic resonance imaging data and behavioral testing of children ages 4-8, along with tracking...
