This $674,197 five-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research at the University of California, Merced on how human language processing adapts to different environments and communication contexts. The project investigates the cognitive processes that enable smooth human communication, including how listeners make rational inferences to understand speech in noisy or incomplete signals....
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075), provides $763,822 to Vanderbilt University to advance understanding of cognitive and linguistic processes in conversational interactions. Over three years, the university will conduct twelve behavioral experiments to determine how individuals form probabilistic representations of what their...
This $449,275 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to advance the scientific understanding of human language processing and change. The project, led by the University of California, Davis (UC Davis), combines expertise from linguistics, psychology, and computational approaches to investigate how language users integrate general language constraints and verb-specific...
The National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded The Pennsylvania State University a $160,000 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to expand the usability of the dynamic dyadic systems approach for analyzing conversations. The award will support two conferences bringing together investigators from different fields to apply this analytic method to face-to-face and digital interactions using existing data...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences supports research at the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying speech production. The project aims to generate a functional map of the brain systems that enable fluent speech, with the goal of improving diagnosis and treatment of speech production deficits.
The $965,471 award, effective August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2026,...
This $378,185 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The grant supports research at the University of Chicago to investigate how children's perceptions of others' competence are shaped by the way those individuals are spoken to. Specifically, the project aims to explore how stereotyped beliefs about certain student groups may...
This $401,918 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research by the University of Rochester to investigate neural mechanisms underlying how the brain processes complex sounds like speech and music across different timescales.
The key objectives are to use computational models and neural recordings from auditory cortex to understand the brain's flexible integration of sound information...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $278,400 to Northwestern University to conduct research on "Private Disclosures in Competing Mechanisms: Theory and Applications." The research examines a novel dimension in the design of sophisticated mechanisms used in competitive markets, specifically the practice of asymmetric information disclosure to agents. The project aims to develop new...
This $148,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program will fund research investigating reflexive processing through August 2024. The goal is to better understand the complex mental processes underlying native language comprehension by examining how unique grammatical features shape real-time comprehension of pronouns. The researcher will deploy a series of visual world paradigm experiments to measure how quickly and accurately...
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...
