This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences provides $124,539 to support research examining the links between perception and production of second language speech sounds over time. Funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the two-year award to the University of Texas at Austin will lay the foundation for developing a comprehensive model of second language sound learning. Researchers will train...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $550,299 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to Trustees of Indiana University, doing business as Indiana University, to conduct research on the transfer of statistical learning from speech perception to production. The project aims to understand the mechanisms by which the brain coordinates listening and speaking, even when changes are subtle and not consciously identifiable. Preliminary data...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences Directorate (CFDA 47.075) provides $160,000 over a 2-year period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026. The grant supports an early career postdoctoral researcher to investigate the mechanisms underlying perceptual learning and adaptation to accented speech. The research aims to shed light on how listeners can successfully adapt to the diversity of speech contexts encountered in...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $123,618 to the University of Maryland, College Park to conduct research investigating the impact of experimental language research on participants. The project aims to explore how experimental linguistics studies can be leveraged for public engagement, by examining participants' perceptions of language and linguistics and testing whether improved science...
The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) was awarded a $750,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to conduct collaborative research on individual variability in auditory learning. The research aims to develop a non-invasive device that integrates attention and neuromodulation to enhance second language acquisition, particularly for underserved communities. The multi-modal,...
This $154,156 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the University of Oregon on March 15, 2025. The project, titled "The Role of Learned Selective Attention in Speech Adaptation," aims to examine how people adapt to differences in speech production across speakers and accents. The research combines computational modeling and behavioral experimentation to test predictions of a model based...
This $248,898 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), will support research at the University of Iowa focused on understanding individual differences in speech perception and categorization. The study aims to investigate the cognitive and neurological factors underlying the consistency with which people perceive and categorize speech sounds, and how this relates to language and reading development. The project will develop...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $195,040 to Stony Brook University, a prominent research institution, for a 3-year collaborative research project on subregular inference of morpho-phonology. The research aims to advance the understanding of how humans learn language, specifically the mental representations of words and the patterns governing their pronunciation. The project will develop...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $230,454.00 to Georgetown University to conduct research on statistical learning and consolidation in language and non-language patterns. The aim of this 3-year project, which runs from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2028, is to understand how children and adults learn language from speech and visual patterns, with a focus on the consolidation process that...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $160,000 in funding over two years to support an early career postdoctoral researcher's investigation of linguistic tone patterns and tonal evolution in a typologically unique target language. The goal is to document the diversity of dialects and their tone systems, analyze how the dialects have evolved and diverged, and collect data for in-depth...
