This $577,409 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program will fund research at American University to study infant visual object recognition and its implications for computational models of human vision. Over a three-year period from September 2022 to August 2025, researchers will use electroencephalography to analyze how 12-15 month old infants represent and process visual objects. Results will be compared to predictions from...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $522,000 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the University of Arizona for a 3-year research project titled "LANGDIV: BEYOND OBJECT-LABEL MAPPINGS: A TEMPORAL MICROANALYSIS OF TODDLER SEMANTIC AND LEXICAL INTEGRATION." The research aims to examine how the words that toddlers already know affect their ability to learn new words, providing insights to parents and educators on optimal...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award totaling $213,467 supports research to understand how infants learn language by studying their interactions with caregivers. The project combines observational methods and computer modeling to discover which aspects of speech are most important for infant language development. Key activities include recording parent-infant interactions while tracking infant eye movements to...
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 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...
This federal Project Grant award of $146,005 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant supports research to examine how family stress and cohesion relate to a young child's language environment and language acquisition. The project consists of two studies: a secondary analysis of existing data from 100 families with 3- to 5-year-old children, and an intensive longitudinal study with natural home...
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 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...
