- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $160,000 supports an early career postdoctoral research fellowship examining how children acquire vocabulary related to spatial relations. The research, conducted under the sponsorship of Dr. John Trueswell at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Barbara Landau at Johns Hopkins University, will investigate how typically developing children learn the meanings of spatial terms...
- 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 $160,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a postdoctoral fellowship to investigate how children develop communicative competence through peer interactions. The key objectives are to collect and analyze a large dataset of child-child conversations, develop computational models comparing communicative acts across adult-adult, parent-child, and child-child contexts, and conduct...
- 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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, provides $369,105 to support research into how children acquire the meanings of empathy verbs. The project, led by the University of Hawaii at Manoa, investigates whether children can learn these complex verbs using only grammatical cues in their language input versus relying on observable contextual information. The research also examines the relationship...
- The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) was awarded a $290,454 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences to conduct collaborative research titled "LOOPHOLES AS A WINDOW INTO THE LEARNING OF MEANING." The two-year project grant, awarded September 1, 2021 with a completion date of August 31, 2023, will fund research under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). This program supports basic research...
- 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 (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $711,202 Project Grant to the University of Wisconsin - Madison to study how children's word meanings and vocabulary development impact their long-term outcomes. The grant is funded through the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, which supports basic research to advance scientific understanding and promote the welfare of the nation. The key products of this 3-year project include: The award reflects NSF's mission to advance scientific knowledge and understanding through support of high-quality research. The diverse team of student researchers will also receive interdisciplinary training on studying children's language development.
