Project Grant 2317124
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $433,242 Project Grant to The Washington University under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075). The three-year award will support research modeling the cognitive challenges of accented speech. The research team will conduct experiments measuring cognitive processing during listening to accented speech using methods from listening effort literature and behavioral economics. Eye-tracking will test if listeners...
- This National Science Foundation project grant of $282,603 supports research into time and episodic memory being conducted at Washington University in University City, Missouri from September 2022 through August 2023. The research investigates how the capacity for remembering past personal experiences contributes to one's sense of time and understanding of the past, present and future. Specifically, the project studies temporal cognition in individuals with episodic amnesia to learn how episodic...
- This Project Grant award of $346,803, provided by the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), supports research at the University of Chicago to test theories underlying what makes certain stimuli more memorable than others. The project aims to understand the underlying brain mechanisms that determine what information is prioritized for storage in human memory. The research utilizes behavioral experiments, brain imaging, and artificial...
- The University of Chicago was awarded a $203,995 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075) to conduct research examining the intrinsic memorability of voices. Over a 15-month period from June 2023 through August 2024, the university will test thousands of people's memories of 630 diverse voices saying the same sentence to determine which voices are most...
- The National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program awarded a $462,693 Project Grant to Georgetown University to conduct research on statistical learning and consolidation in language and non-language patterns. The research aims to understand how children and adults learn language from speech and learn visual patterns, exploring whether similar principles and timing govern these learning processes. A key focus is on the "consolidation"...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $308,701 project grant to The Washington University to support collaborative research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: TRUST ACROSS DIVERSE CONTEXTS IN EARLY CHILDHOOD." The three-year award period runs from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The grant supports research under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which aims to contribute to scientific...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $450,000 Project Grant to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) under the NSF Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant, effective September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026, will fund research on the cognitive mechanisms supporting the production of sentences involving recursion and displacement across different languages. The project aims to use structural priming...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $208,090 Project Grant to Purdue University under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant is for a 3-year project from August 2024 to July 2027 focused on building a conceptual framework for understanding the "engram" - the neural mechanisms underlying memory retention and recall. The project will employ methods from biology, history, and philosophy of science to develop an updated, expanded...
- The National Science Foundation awarded $500,000 under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to the University of California, San Francisco for a project grant titled "Understanding Mechanisms of Semantic Memory through Intracranial Recording and Stimulation." The three-year project, running from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025, will utilize intracranial electroencephalography recordings from awake epilepsy patients to decipher how neural...
- This Project Grant award of $199,999 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a collaborative research effort between the University of Chicago and Swiss partners to advance the understanding of the neural and behavioral underpinnings of working memory. The goal is to clarify the cognitive role of neurally active representations in working memory and examine whether there are specific operations that require...
The Washington University has been awarded a $574,000 Project Grant by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The 3-year grant, beginning September 1, 2023, will support research to understand how people use language to communicate the reliability of their memories, and how others evaluate the credibility of such memory reports. The project will examine the independent roles of memory content and speech prosody in this communication process, as well as the impact of individual differences in cognitive abilities. It will also explore how accent differences may impact the ability to effectively evaluate others' memories. The research will utilize machine learning algorithms to objectively score the language used in accurate versus inaccurate memory justifications, comparing their performance to human evaluators. This award reflects NSF's mission to promote basic research and understanding in the social and behavioral sciences to benefit the nation's scientific strength and welfare.
