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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, awards $213,467 to the University of Pennsylvania to study how infants begin learning language. The project combines observational methods and computer modeling to determine which aspects of speech are most important in helping infants learn language. The research will create a large, annotated database of child-directed speech that can be shared with other researchers...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $337,206 Project Grant titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: THE DEVELOPMENTAL COURSE OF CEREBRAL LATERALIZATION FOR SPACE AND LANGUAGE" to Georgetown University. This 4-year grant, which began on Aug 1, 2023, supports research to investigate how the brain's hemispheric specialization for language and visual-spatial abilities develops in children ages 5-11. Using behavioral testing and functional...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $887,831 Project Grant under its STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. The grant, awarded on September 1, 2023, will fund a collaborative research effort to study the neurological factors underlying individual variability in auditory learning and second-language acquisition. The research will integrate attention monitoring via pupil dilation and neuromodulation through vagus nerve stimulation to...
This $649,812 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to examine how the brain processes and organizes language input that lacks a temporal sequence, such as rapidly flashed written stimuli. The primary awardee, New York University (NYU), will use magnetoencephalography (MEG) to investigate the spatiotemporal dynamics of syntactic and semantic computations when language is conveyed without...
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 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...
This $449,275 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to advance the scientific understanding of human language processing and change. The project, led by the University of California, Davis (UC Davis), combines expertise from linguistics, psychology, and computational approaches to investigate how language users integrate general language constraints and verb-specific preferences...
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...
This $56,465 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, supports a multi-year study analyzing the determinants that shape language restoration and development efforts within communities. The principal investigator will utilize a combination of linguistic analyses, observations, interviews, participatory methods, and digital network analysis to track how language is introduced and emerges as a mode of...
