Project Grant 2217766
- This Project Grant, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075), will address two key research questions: (1) whether infants' motor skill acquisitions are related to the specific words they learn, and (2) whether language input that aligns with infants' motor actions facilitates word learning. The $380,398 award, effective August 1, 2024 and running through July 31, 2028, will support the University of Alabama's efforts...
- 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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $425,748 to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, doing business as Clinical Practices of the University of Pennsylvania, to study how infants begin learning language. The project will use observational methods and computer modeling to evaluate infants' understanding of speech from their parents, with the goal of creating a large annotated database...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $138,337 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. (UGA Research Foundation) to study the temporal structure of infants' everyday behaviors, including language and play interactions in the home environment. The project aims to investigate how the temporal patterns of infant vocalizations, maternal speech, and infant object play relate to the...
- This $382,535 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Yale University to develop understanding of attention in preschool-aged children. The Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences award falls under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which promotes basic research and education in these fields. Specifically, the two-year project will investigate the emergence of selective and sustained attention to socially relevant audiovisual...
- This National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences award, funded under the federal Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences grant program (CFDA 47.075), supports a collaborative research project titled "The Temporal Structure of Infants' Everyday Behaviors: Language and Play Interactions in the Home Environment." The $145,840 project, awarded to the University of Oregon on September 1, 2023 with a completion date of August 31, 2026, investigates how the...
- This National Science Foundation project grant of $550,000 supports research to evaluate computational models of infant language acquisition against experimental data on English- and Spanish-learning infants. Funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the award will enable researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles to directly compare the output of different computational word segmentation models to infant behavioral data on the acquisition of...
- This Project Grant award of $149,348 from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), aims to understand the behavioral and neural mechanisms underlying infants' and toddlers' language development. The research program will evaluate caregiver-infant interactions to quantify variation in infants' communicative success, examine infants' sensitivity to...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences (CFDA 47.075 - Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences) provides $410,651 over 3 years to New York University (NYU) to investigate the temporal structure of infant behaviors, including vocalizations, play, and language interactions within home environments. The project aims to describe the unfolding of these behaviors over time, test associations between infant and maternal vocal...
- The University of Tennessee received a $420,750 Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310). The grant, with a project period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026, will support research to examine predictive factors influencing language development trajectories during the first 3 years of life, particularly in very low birth weight (VLBW) preterm infants. The research aims to identify...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), provides $700,000 to the University of Tennessee from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025. The grant supports research examining how infants process intersensory information and make sense of their environment. Specifically, the project will use measures of heart rate, electroencephalography, and computational modeling to study how 5-10 month old infants attend to and learn from audiovisual speech that provides redundant intersensory information. The research aims to determine whether intersensory redundancy enhances infant attention and learning, how infant attention can be biased toward or away from redundancy, and which brain areas are involved in processing audiovisual speech in infancy. The University of Tennessee will collaborate with Florida International University on the research. Drs. Bahrick and Lickliter from Florida International University will serve as co-investigators, contributing to study design and data analysis, providing feedback, and participating in monthly meetings with the principal investigator. Findings from this research could provide insights into early human development and processing of multimodal stimuli, as well as deficits experienced by children with certain disabilities.
