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...
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...
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...
The National Science Foundation SBE Office of Multidisciplinary Activities awarded a $217,800 two-year Project Grant to researchers at Berkeley, California to study the contributions of the environment and social interaction to language emergence. The grant is part of the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which supports basic research and education in these fields. Under the award, the researchers will investigate how environmental and social factors shape...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $522,000 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the University of Arizona for a 3-year research project titled "LANGDIV: BEYOND OBJECT-LABEL MAPPINGS: A TEMPORAL MICROANALYSIS OF TODDLER SEMANTIC AND LEXICAL INTEGRATION." The research aims to examine how the words that toddlers already know affect their ability to learn new words, providing insights to parents and educators on optimal...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award to Georgetown University for $230,454 supports research to understand how children and adults learn language and visual patterns. The primary aims are to investigate the memory consolidation process by which specific sequence memories are integrated into broader grammatical patterns for language and visual information. The studies involve exposing participants to miniature...
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 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...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $104,114 to Haverford College to conduct research on the mechanisms underlying human language learning. The research aims to better understand how people construct mental representations of words and learn the morphological and phonological patterns that govern language. The project will develop interpretable computational models and algorithms...
