Project Grant 2314963
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $138,337 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. (UGA Research Foundation) to study the temporal structure of infants' everyday behaviors, including language and play interactions in the home environment. The project aims to investigate how the temporal patterns of infant vocalizations, maternal speech, and infant object play relate to the...
- This National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences award, funded under the federal Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences grant program (CFDA 47.075), supports a collaborative research project titled "The Temporal Structure of Infants' Everyday Behaviors: Language and Play Interactions in the Home Environment." The $145,840 project, awarded to the University of Oregon on September 1, 2023 with a completion date of August 31, 2026, investigates how the...
- This Project Grant, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075), will address two key research questions: (1) whether infants' motor skill acquisitions are related to the specific words they learn, and (2) whether language input that aligns with infants' motor actions facilitates word learning. The $380,398 award, effective August 1, 2024 and running through July 31, 2028, will support the University of Alabama's efforts...
- NEURAL AND BEHAVIORAL MECHANISMS OF CONTROLLABILITY IN INFANTS' AND TODDLERS' LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT - PROJECT SUMMARY SOCIAL INTERACTIONS ARE THE CENTRAL CONTEXT FOR LEARNING THE PREREQUISITES THAT SPUR SOCIAL AND LINGUISTIC ADVANCES IN DEVELOPMENT.1,2 WHILE CAREGIVER BEHAVIORS ARE TRADITIONALLY A CENTRAL FOCUS, HEALTHY COMMUNICATIVE DEVELOPMENT REQUIRES INFANTS TO LEARN THAT THEIR ACTIONS WIELD COMMUNICATIVE POWER. ALTHOUGH INFANTS ARE KNOWN TO BE ACTIVE LEARNERS,5-7 WE DO NOT YET KNOW IF OR HOW...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $179,857 to the University of Maryland, College Park to conduct research on the development of non-local syntactic dependency acquisition in infants. The project aims to examine when and how infants represent abstract grammatical dependencies that can occur at a distance, which is a core property of human language syntax. The research will use behavioral...
- This National Science Foundation project grant of $550,000 supports research to evaluate computational models of infant language acquisition against experimental data on English- and Spanish-learning infants. Funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the award will enable researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles to directly compare the output of different computational word segmentation models to infant behavioral data on the acquisition of...
- This $599,651 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences supports a research study titled "Naming Names: How, and How Early, Does Object Naming Influence Infants' Fundamental Object Representations?" at Northwestern University. The study aims to discover if 7-month-old infants can link how objects are named to how they represent those objects, as well as examine if infants' early object representations support their...
- The National Science Foundation SBE Office of Multidisciplinary Activities awarded a $217,800 two-year Project Grant to researchers at Berkeley, California to study the contributions of the environment and social interaction to language emergence. 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. Under the award, the researchers will investigate how environmental and social factors shape...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, provides $648,091 to the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY) - College of Staten Island to study the impact of a specialized child-rearing practice on infant development. The project examines how the use of a cradle that restricts infant movement affects motor, cognitive, and social-emotional development from 4 to 16 months of age....
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $109,799 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the University of Florida Division of Sponsored Research. The grant supports a collaborative research project to use sensing technology and automated speech recognition to capture teacher language interactions in diverse pre-K classrooms. The project aims to provide insights into how preschool language experiences shape children's language...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences (CFDA 47.075 - Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences) provides $410,651 over 3 years to New York University (NYU) to investigate the temporal structure of infant behaviors, including vocalizations, play, and language interactions within home environments. The project aims to describe the unfolding of these behaviors over time, test associations between infant and maternal vocal behaviors, and examine how the temporal structure of play, vocalizations, and speech relate to the sophistication of infant vocal development. This research seeks to transform the study of early language acquisition by moving beyond snapshots of behavior to studying how behaviors unfold naturally in home settings, with the goal of inspiring new theories and measurement techniques in this domain.
