Project Grant 2507555
- This $160,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a postdoctoral fellowship to investigate how children develop communicative competence through peer interactions. The key objectives are to collect and analyze a large dataset of child-child conversations, develop computational models comparing communicative acts across adult-adult, parent-child, and child-child contexts, and conduct...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Postdoctoral Research Fellowship award in the amount of $160,000 supports a two-year research project examining how children aged 7-12 understand and trust the capabilities of generative AI chatbots. The research involves a mixed-methods study across two phases - an initial experiment to assess children's trust in AI vs. human-provided information and their ability to identify common AI chatbot errors,...
- This $160,000 Postdoctoral Fellowship award was granted by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The funding supports an early career scientist to investigate how adults learn about and explain the causes of others' behavior over a 2-year project period from September 2024 to August 2026. The research aims to develop a computational model of action explanation by examining when traits versus situational factors or...
- This two-year, $138,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program will fund research into the development of social cognition in children. Specifically, the grant supports an early career scientist to conduct a large-scale investigation examining how children's understanding of other minds emerges throughout the preschool years. Leveraging recent advances in online developmental science, the fellow will validate an updated mental state...
- This $160,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports an early career scientist's postdoctoral fellowship to use computational models to understand children's language processing development. The project aims to study how quickly children can put words together as they read, designing a web-based task to measure children's word-by-word reading times and using AI language models to analyze how their...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award, provided through the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, supports a postdoctoral fellowship for an early-career scientist to study human decision-making, learning, and innovation in novel systems of rules and reward. The $160,000 award, spanning January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2027, will be used to conduct large-scale behavioral studies, including human-human gameplay experiments, to empirically validate a...
- This $160,000 Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to support a postdoctoral fellowship investigating the neural basis of social influence perception. Under the sponsorship of Drs. Shari Liu, Marina Bedny, and Tianmin Shu at Johns Hopkins University, the fellowship supports an early-career scientist who will use behavioral and neuroimaging methods to examine how the brain processes information about physical...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) provides $160,000 in funding to support an early career scientist developing a framework for process-level models of human language comprehension. The goal is to bridge the gap between human language behavior and computational models by analyzing incremental language processing behavior, particularly in response to imperfect input, and implementing models to...
- 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...
- This $379,937 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a computational research project at Yale University investigating how humans infer social relationships and group dynamics. The project aims to develop a theory and computational model of "structure learning" - the psychological processes that allow people to learn about social relationships by observing patterns of interaction between individuals....
This Project Grant award in the amount of $160,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) supports a postdoctoral fellowship under the sponsorship of Dr. Julian Jara-Ettinger at Yale University. The project investigates how humans rapidly infer others' knowledge from subtle cues, such as response time and hesitation, to understand a critical capacity for effective communication. Through a combination of computational modeling and empirical studies with children and adults, this research aims to formalize how people estimate others' knowledge using minimal evidence. The findings will advance the understanding of human reasoning about knowledge and provide a foundation for designing artificial intelligence systems that can better track user knowledge in real-time interactions.
