This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), supports research to develop a computational model that mimics how the human brain detects and repairs speech errors. The $686,537 project, awarded to Trustees of Indiana University, will build the largest publicly available multilingual database of speech errors and repairs across four languages - English, French, Dutch, and Farsi. This database and an open-source computational model of speech error repairs will be made freely accessible to support further research on human language production. The project aims to advance our understanding of how speakers, including children, second-language learners, and individuals with brain injuries, detect and correct their own speech errors, which is critical for effective communication.
