- Bowdoin College received a $171,342 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to conduct collaborative research on life history strategies within a population of Leach's storm-petrels. The three-year study, beginning December 1, 2023, will explore the molecular, cellular, and organismal performance traits that enable some individuals to avoid the typical trade-off between current reproduction and survival. The research...
- This National Science Foundation project grant of $141,240 will fund research into deconstructing wordlikeness judgments from September 2022 to February 2026. Under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), researchers at the University of Mississippi will conduct experimental and computational studies to better understand human phonotactic knowledge and gradient wordlikeness judgments. The project involves experimental studies manipulating response measures,...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $104,114 to Haverford College to conduct research on the mechanisms underlying human language learning. The research aims to better understand how people construct mental representations of words and learn the morphological and phonological patterns that govern language. The project will develop interpretable computational models and algorithms...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $136,392 provides funding from September 1, 2022 through February 28, 2026 to support research titled "Collaborative Research: Deconstructing Wordlikeness Judgments." The award is made under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to Michigan State University. The project will deconstruct factors involved in human wordlikeness judgments through experimental and computational studies. Researchers will...
- This National Science Foundation project grant award of $116,990 supports research into deconstructing wordlikeness judgments through interconnected experimental and computational studies. Funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the award will provide research training and mentoring opportunities for graduate students in modern experimental and computational methods related to phonotactic knowledge and language sciences. Specifically, the City University...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $195,040 to Stony Brook University, a prominent research institution, for a 3-year collaborative research project on subregular inference of morpho-phonology. The research aims to advance the understanding of how humans learn language, specifically the mental representations of words and the patterns governing their pronunciation. The project will develop...
- This $234,610 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports collaborative research at Colgate University to study how the brain uses visual and linguistic information to achieve specific goals. The research aims to advance theories of human cognition and develop more adaptive, human-aligned artificial intelligence (AI) systems. Key project activities include training deep neural networks to predict...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) provides $160,000 in funding to support an early career scientist developing a framework for process-level models of human language comprehension. The goal is to bridge the gap between human language behavior and computational models by analyzing incremental language processing behavior, particularly in response to imperfect input, and implementing models to...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $473,434 to Harrisburg University of Science and Technology to conduct research on cross-linguistic semantic priming effects in 45 languages and compare them to large language models. The project aims to build a large-scale dataset to understand how recognizing one word can improve recognition of a conceptually related word, known as semantic priming, and examine how...
Bowdoin College received a $179,765 project grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Integrative Activities program to conduct collaborative research modeling word search processes in the mental lexicon. Over a three-year period from June 2023 through May 2026, the College will develop a unified computational framework to study lexical search and retrieval. Researchers from psycholinguistics, network science, and language modeling will design a gamified, web-based verbal fluency experiment to generate behavioral data on fluency tasks. Novel computational approaches using optimal foraging and random walk mechanisms will evaluate how meaning and sound information interact during word production and account for individual variation. The project aims to advance understanding of memory search processes and leverage advances in machine learning, network science, and gamification to generate unprecedented fluency data and new insights across psychology and linguistics.
