This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $163,588 to the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) for a research project titled "Collaborative Research: Situational Learning and Decision Making". The project aims to characterize how individuals learn about situations and examine the role of situational and trait learning in moral reasoning and decision-making. The research team will leverage...
This Project Grant award of $311,746 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a collaborative research project between researchers in the United States and Germany. The project aims to study the neural and computational mechanisms underlying flexible, goal-directed decision-making in humans. The researchers will employ a multifaceted approach combining computational modeling, behavioral tasks, and neuroimaging...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $500,000 Project Grant to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) to understand how the brain supports decision-making processes. The three-year grant, awarded under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), aims to identify neural features that provide information about the decision-making process, build decoders to predict decisions, and develop a closed-loop...
This $500,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will support research to examine the computational and neural mechanisms underlying social learning within social networks. The research, conducted by Trustees of Dartmouth College, aims to shed light on how individuals acquire knowledge by observing others in their social circles, compared to learning from their own experiences. By leveraging...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Social and Economic Science awarded a $525,175 Project Grant to the University of Southern California (USC) to study the evolution of collective decision-making from childhood to adulthood. The three-year research project, titled "The Evolution of Collective Decision-Making from Childhood to Adulthood: Markets, Networks and Institutions", will employ experimental techniques to investigate decision-making behavior and the cognitive and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $320,000 in funding to Northeastern University for a 5-year research project on the neurocognitive development of adolescent learning. The project aims to investigate the cognitive and brain mechanisms related to learning from experience and how these change from childhood to adolescence and young adulthood. The research will use behavioral, computational, and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $160,000 over a two-year period from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2026. The award supports an early career scientist investigating the neural basis of social influence perception at Johns Hopkins University under the sponsorship of Drs. Shari Liu, Marina Bedny, and Tianmin Shu. The project aims to understand how physical and social cognition interact in the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $160,000 Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Postdoctoral Fellowship grant to support an early career scientist investigating how people learn about and explain the causes of others' behavior. The 2-year project, under the sponsorship of Dr. Tobias Gerstenberg at Stanford University, aims to develop and test a computational model of action explanation. The research will examine when people choose traits versus situational...
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 (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) awarded a $529,508 Project Grant to the University of California, Berkeley to investigate the cognitive mechanisms that enable individuals to leverage the brain's motivation system for arbitrary goals. The 3-year research project, starting on June 1, 2024, aims to uncover how learning and decision-making differ when people pursue familiar, objective rewards versus novel, self-imposed...

COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: SITUATIONAL LEARNING AND DECISION MAKING -BEING ABLE TO PREDICT BEHAVIORS OF OTHER PEOPLE IS IMPORTANT TO SUCCESSFULLY NAVIGATE THE SOCIAL WORLD. PRIOR RESEARCH SHOWS THAT ONE MAJOR WAY TO ACHIEVE THIS IS BY LEARNING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE?S PERSONALITY TRAITS. THIS PROJECT EXPLORES HOW INDIVIDUALS LEARN NOT ONLY ABOUT OTHERS? PERSONALITY TRAITS BUT ALSO ABOUT THE SITUATIONS THAT INFORM PEOPLE?S ACTIONS, AND IN TURN USE SITUATIONAL LEARNING IN DECISION MAKING. IMPACTS OF THIS PROJECT INCLUDE RESEARCH TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES FOR GRADUATE AND UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS, AND DISSEMINATION OF FINDINGS TO THE PUBLIC. THIS PROJECT AIMS TO CHARACTERIZE HOW INDIVIDUALS LEARN ABOUT SITUATIONS AND EXPLORE HOW DIFFERENT LIFE EXPERIENCES INFLUENCE THIS PROCESS. THE RESEARCH TEAM LEVERAGES BEHAVIORAL METHODS, ADVANCED NEUROIMAGING TECHNIQUES AND COMPUTATIONAL MODELING TO (1) IDENTIFY THE NEURAL AND COGNITIVE MECHANISMS INVOLVED IN SITUATIONAL AND TRAIT LEARNING AND TO (2) EXAMINE THE ROLE THAT SITUATIONAL AND TRAIT LEARNING PLAY IN MORAL REASONING AND DECISION-MAKING ACROSS DIFFERENT CONTEXTS. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.
