- The National Science Foundation awarded Vanderbilt University a $502,654 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2024. The grant will support the Forming Habit(us) project to examine through 5,700 hours of in-home video footage how 21 American families from different social class backgrounds develop early-life skills, attitudes, and expectations in their young children aged 2 to 4 years old. Outcomes will include...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) awarded a $529,508 Project Grant to the University of California, Berkeley to investigate the cognitive mechanisms that enable individuals to leverage the brain's motivation system for arbitrary goals. The 3-year research project, starting on June 1, 2024, aims to uncover how learning and decision-making differ when people pursue familiar, objective rewards versus novel, self-imposed...
- The Johns Hopkins University received a $649,999 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences on September 1, 2021 to fund research understanding error-driven learning in infancy and early childhood. The grant is part of the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which supports basic research and education in these fields as well as monitoring science resources. Through this award, The Johns Hopkins...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $187,180 project grant to the Georgia State University Research Foundation Inc. from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The grant supports collaborative research examining the relative roles of ecology, evolution, and experience in solving novel problems under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). This program contributes to scientific strength and welfare through promotion...
- This $714,203 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will support research conducted by New York University (NYU) on how people change their planning behavior in response to uncertainty in their environment. The project aims to develop computational models of human planning under varying levels of randomness, including uncertainty in rewards, actions, and volatile environments. The research will analyze...
- This $595,183 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a research project that examines the factors influencing the spread and persistence of dynamic social norms. The project investigates attributes like trend longevity, universality, shared cause, and sufficiency that can encourage individuals to adopt emerging social behaviors and beliefs, particularly in the context of addressing societal...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will provide $750,000 to The Washington University to test three competing conceptual models for how person and situation factors influence human behavior. The research will develop more personalized assessment methods to determine when person vs. situation factors are more important in predicting behavior for different individuals. This multi-year project will involve a...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Social and Economic Science awarded a $173,194 Project Grant to The Johns Hopkins University on September 15, 2021 with a completion date of July 31, 2024. The grant supports the "HNDS-R COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: MEASURING BELIEF DISTORTIONS TO IMPROVE PREDICTIVE OUTCOMES" project under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The project aims to contribute to scientific understanding of how belief distortions impact...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $150,945 Project Grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on March 1, 2021 for collaborative research titled "Context Dependence Across Categories: Bridging Developmental, Experimental, and Theoretical Perspectives." The research is being conducted under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which supports basic research and education in the social, behavioral and economic sciences. Specifically, the...
- The University of Florida was awarded a $205,187 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences to develop a person-by-situation approach to predicting behavior with implicit measures. The grant was awarded on August 1, 2021 under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) and will support work through January 31, 2024. The funding will allow researchers to contribute to scientific understanding of how implicit measures...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075), provides $498,314 to The Johns Hopkins University for research titled "Understanding Habit Formation in Complex Tasks." The goal of the research is to develop systematic approaches to identify which aspects of behavior are habitual when learning complex skills that involve multiple component processes. Researchers will track whether and when different components of behavior become habitual as human participants practice a variety of tasks over multiple sessions. The investigators will also train participants under conditions designed to promote or inhibit formation of different habit types. Insights on habit formation in complex skills learning could help improve training programs and apply to domains like consumer behavior, health promotion, and rehabilitation. The grant period runs from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025.
