Project Grant 2341398
- 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...
- 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...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded $423,915 to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) on October 1, 2025, for a collaborative research project extending through September 30, 2028. This project will generate a longitudinal dataset and advanced analytical tools for measuring infant motor development through wearable sensor...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded $425,748 to the University of Pennsylvania on May 1, 2025, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to support research on infant language acquisition. The primary deliverable is a large, annotated database of child-directed speech that will be shared with the broader research community to accelerate discoveries in early language development. This...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a collaborative research Project Grant of $106,315 to the University of Southern California, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2028, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). This award supports a longitudinal investigation of caregiving, everyday motor experiences, and motor skill development in infants using wearable sensing...
- 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...
- 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 $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...
- This Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $182,694, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) to Rutgers, The State University. The grant, with a period of performance from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, supports research focused on understanding the mechanisms underlying human language acquisition, particularly the learning of word morphology and phonology. The research aims to develop...
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 to collect a longitudinal video dataset of infant-caregiver interactions to analyze the coordination between infants' actions and caregivers' language. The project also includes an experimental component to test the effects of action-language coordination on infant word learning. This work aims to inform theories of language development and provide research training opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students. No subgrants are planned under this award.
