This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program is funding research to examine how people adapt to variations in speech production. The $154,156 grant, awarded on March 15, 2025, supports the University of Oregon in developing a computational model and conducting behavioral experiments to test the hypothesis that listeners use reinforcement learning to reallocate attention across acoustic cues when adapting to...
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...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $132,291 to the University of Chicago to conduct a longitudinal study examining the relationship between sound perception and sound production in second language learning. The goal is to better understand how these skills develop over time and interact, which will help inform more effective pronunciation training methods for language learners. The study will...
This $401,918 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research by the University of Rochester to investigate neural mechanisms underlying how the brain processes complex sounds like speech and music across different timescales. The key objectives are to use computational models and neural recordings from auditory cortex to understand the brain's flexible integration of sound information over...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $433,242 Project Grant to The Washington University under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075). The three-year award will support research modeling the cognitive challenges of accented speech. The research team will conduct experiments measuring cognitive processing during listening to accented speech using methods from listening effort literature and behavioral economics. Eye-tracking will test if listeners...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075), provides $533,853 to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for research on the perception and cognition of sound texture. The investigators will develop a computational framework to understand the properties of environmental noises that underlie human perception. This involves assembling a large dataset...
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...
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 of $674,197 was issued by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The award aims to expand theoretical understanding and computational accounts of how human language processing and communication flexibly adapts to different contexts, such as when conversing with children versus adults or individuals with different accents. The research will utilize eye-tracking experiments and computational...
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...
