This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Postdoctoral Research Fellowship award in the amount of $160,000 supports a two-year research project examining how children aged 7-12 understand and trust the capabilities of generative AI chatbots. The research involves a mixed-methods study across two phases - an initial experiment to assess children's trust in AI vs. human-provided information and their ability to identify common AI chatbot errors,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $160,000 supports an early career scientist's postdoctoral research at Harvard University investigating the potential role of overheard speech in children's language development. The research aims to thoroughly characterize everyday overheard and child-directed speech, and to understand how speech directed to different addressees may facilitate language learning. Using both...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to examine how family stress and cohesion relate to a young child's language environment and language acquisition. The $146,005 award to the University of Texas at Dallas will fund two studies. The first study involves a secondary analysis of existing data from 100 families with 3- to 5-year-old children to test how natural home...
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...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, awards $213,467 to the University of Pennsylvania to study how infants begin learning language. The project combines observational methods and computer modeling to determine which aspects of speech are most important in helping infants learn language. The research will create a large, annotated database of child-directed speech that can be shared with other researchers...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant of $204,593 awarded to The MGH Institute Of Health Professions, Inc. in Boston, MA supports the development of a "challenge suite" - a comprehensive dataset and platform to systematically evaluate and compare different mathematical theories of how humans learn language through unsupervised pattern detection. The key products to be delivered include: 1) A meta-analysis...
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 $276,000 two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences program will support computational and developmental research into children's self-representations and learning decisions. Specifically, the awardee will build a quantitative computational model integrating children's self-observations and social feedback to explain self-concept development. This model will be tested against adult data and developmental findings. It will also be...
This two-year, $138,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program will fund research into the development of social cognition in children. Specifically, the grant supports an early career scientist to conduct a large-scale investigation examining how children's understanding of other minds emerges throughout the preschool years. Leveraging recent advances in online developmental science, the fellow will validate an updated mental state...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $370,236 to the University of South Florida to use sensing technology and automated speech recognition to capture teacher-child language interactions in diverse pre-K classrooms. The project aims to examine how often preschool teachers engage in language interactions with students, whether certain children receive fewer or briefer interactions,...
