This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $132,291 to the University of Chicago to conduct a longitudinal study examining the relationship between sound perception and sound production in second language learning. The goal is to better understand how these skills develop over time and interact, which will help inform more effective pronunciation training methods for language learners. The study will...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences Directorate (CFDA 47.075) provides $160,000 over a 2-year period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026. The grant supports an early career postdoctoral researcher to investigate the mechanisms underlying perceptual learning and adaptation to accented speech. The research aims to shed light on how listeners can successfully adapt to the diversity of speech contexts encountered in...
This $154,156 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program funds research to investigate the role of learned selective attention in speech adaptation. The project examines how individuals adapt to differences in speech production across accents and speakers, testing the hypothesis that people adjust their attention to different acoustic cues to improve speech recognition accuracy. The research combines...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $550,299 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to Trustees of Indiana University, doing business as Indiana University, to conduct research on the transfer of statistical learning from speech perception to production. The project aims to understand the mechanisms by which the brain coordinates listening and speaking, even when changes are subtle and not consciously identifiable. Preliminary data...
The University of Texas at Austin received a $390,536 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences on September 1, 2021 to complete the project by February 28, 2025. The grant is funded through the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which aims to support basic research and education in these fields as well as monitor science resources. Specifically, the University will conduct an artificial language...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $123,618 to the University of Maryland, College Park to conduct research investigating the impact of experimental language research on participants. The project aims to explore how experimental linguistics studies can be leveraged for public engagement, by examining participants' perceptions of language and linguistics and testing whether improved science...
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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $160,000 in funding over two years to support an early career postdoctoral researcher's investigation of linguistic tone patterns and tonal evolution in a typologically unique target language. The goal is to document the diversity of dialects and their tone systems, analyze how the dialects have evolved and diverged, and collect data for in-depth...
This $250,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program funds research to investigate how rhythmic presentation of new sound categories can enhance adults' implicit learning of speech and non-speech sounds. The project, led by the Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY), will use a combination of behavioral tasks, electroencephalography (EEG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and brain...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $887,831 Project Grant under its STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. The grant, awarded on September 1, 2023, will fund a collaborative research effort to study the neurological factors underlying individual variability in auditory learning and second-language acquisition. The research will integrate attention monitoring via pupil dilation and neuromodulation through vagus nerve stimulation to...
