Project Grant 2520154
- This Project Grant award of $342,906 from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program supports research at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey's Newark campus. The project aims to explore how children's early media experiences shape their expectations for learning from digital media devices, and how those expectations impact their STEM learning outcomes. Using a combination of behavioral, physiological, and computational approaches, the research will examine...
- This Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $182,694, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) to Rutgers, The State University. The grant, with a period of performance from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, supports research focused on understanding the mechanisms underlying human language acquisition, particularly the learning of word morphology and phonology. The research aims to develop...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $199,920 Project Grant under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to The Research Foundation for The State University of New York. The grant, titled "RAPID: Exploring an AI Literacies Framework for Young Children: A Delphi Study," will develop an interdisciplinary framework for early childhood education (ECE) on artificial intelligence (AI). The project will convene a panel of 30 diverse experts from the fields of AI, child...
- This $276,000 two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences program will support computational and developmental research into children's self-representations and learning decisions. Specifically, the awardee will build a quantitative computational model integrating children's self-observations and social feedback to explain self-concept development. This model will be tested against adult data and developmental findings. It will also be...
- This Project Grant award of $365,000 from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) supports a collaborative research project at Michigan State University to study how children develop spatial thinking skills during play and how parent-child conversations influence that development. The project uses sensor-enabled smart building blocks and advanced artificial intelligence tools to analyze the physical block-building sequences and speech...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.075 - Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program) provides $335,000.00 to Northwestern University to conduct collaborative research on leveraging smart objects and AI for understanding the role of language in spatial thinking and learning. The 3-year project, starting on Oct 1, 2025, explores how young children build spatial thinking skills during play and how conversations with parents can influence that...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $500,000 to the University of California, San Diego to investigate how large language model-based technology can be used to build effective pedagogical tools for college programming classes. The key objectives are to: (1) provide customized help to students tailored to their classes; (2) support instructors in material preparation, student engagement...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $425,748 to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, doing business as Clinical Practices of the University of Pennsylvania, to study how infants begin learning language. The project will use observational methods and computer modeling to evaluate infants' understanding of speech from their parents, with the goal of creating a large annotated database...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) awarded Northeastern University $532,152 on May 1, 2025 to conduct research on the neurocognitive development of learning in adolescents. The project aims to investigate the cognitive and brain mechanisms related to learning from experience, and how these change from childhood to adolescence and young adulthood. Using behavioral, computational, and neuroimaging...
This Project Grant award of $511,745.00 was provided by the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The funding supports a research project titled "Understanding Expectation-Driven Learning in Early Childhood: An Experimental and Computational Investigation" at Rutgers, The State University in Newark, NJ. The project examines how preschoolers' prior knowledge, expectations, and responses to surprising information impact their memory and learning over time. This research has implications for developing effective AI tutoring systems for early childhood education. The award period runs from Sep 1, 2025 to Aug 31, 2028, and the project aims to build research infrastructure by training students in computer programming and computational methods for cognitive science and AI.
