This federal Project Grant award in the amount of $346,803 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to investigate the cognitive mechanisms underlying human memory and what factors determine the memorability of various stimuli. The award, granted to the University of Chicago on March 15, 2025, will fund a project that tests three key theories about how the brain prioritizes information for storage in memory...
The University of Chicago was awarded a $499,999 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation on May 1, 2021 to complete work by April 30, 2024. The grant is part of the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which aims to promote basic research and education in these fields. Under the award, the University will predict attention fluctuations and their consequences for memory from functional brain connectivity. The research will contribute to scientific...
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 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...
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 over...

This $325,000 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 Chicago to investigate the role of different memory systems in guiding decision-making for novel choices. The research team plans to leverage eye-tracking, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), computational modeling, and patient populations to characterize how "rigid" and "flexible"...
The National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $200,000 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075) to the University of Illinois on February 15, 2022. The grant will support research to develop new evaluation and training paradigms for inclusive automatic speech recognition over a three-year period ending January 31, 2025. Specifically, the university will create open-source black-box and...
This $249,318 National Science Foundation Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences award funds a two-year project from August 2021 to July 2023 titled "Computational Methods for Speech Analysis." The Washington University is the primary awardee, with subawards to the University of Pennsylvania. The project extends existing computational speech analysis packages and applies them to new datasets, including campaign speeches and police body-worn camera footage. It involves extracting...

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 and least memorable and if there are similarities across listeners. Additional experiments will examine whether certain voices are memorable regardless of content and identify voice features that make a voice memorable. Computational tools to predict voice memorability will be developed and made publicly available. Findings will also be incorporated into an undergraduate textbook. The award supports the agency's goal of promoting basic research in the social, behavioral and economic sciences.
