This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences provides $142,477 to support collaborative research examining foundations of learning through individual variation, plasticity, and evolution in humans and great apes. Funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), this award will support research examining brain organization and its relationship to skill learning in bonobos and chimpanzees. Researchers will...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $117,136 supports research examining learning-related aspects of brain organization in bonobos and chimpanzees. Funded through the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program, the award will compare brain anatomy in great apes that have and have not undergone training in evolutionarily relevant skills like tool use and language-like systems. Researchers from Harvard University will analyze archived brain images and samples from prior...
This two-year, $349,604 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings will fund research examining learning-related aspects of brain organization in bonobos and chimpanzees. The George Washington University will lead a collaborative effort to noninvasively study archived brain samples, images, and living apes. Researchers will analyze relationships between individual variation in brain anatomy and skill learning trajectories...
