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...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $160,000 supports an early career scientist at Stanford University investigating how adults learn about and explain the causes of others' behavior. The research aims to develop and test a computational model of action explanation, examining when people choose traits versus situational factors or mental states as explanations for others' actions. The findings have potential...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to model the cognitive and neural mechanisms involved in mental state detection, prediction, and regulation during everyday social interactions. The $409,837 award to Dartmouth College, granted on May 1, 2025, will fund tightly controlled experiments to measure how people learn to detect, predict, and regulate others' mental states. In parallel, the project will develop deep neural network models to complete the same mental state understanding tasks. By testing the models' ability to explain human behavior and corresponding brain activity, the research aims to provide insight into the computational and neural mechanisms underlying mental state understanding. This foundational work could lead to the development of methods to improve a wide variety of human social interactions. The primary awardee, Dartmouth College, conducts extensive federally-funded research across scientific and scholarly disciplines, often providing advisory, training, and direct services to federal agencies.
