The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Multidisciplinary Activities awarded $772,299 to Harvard College on July 1, 2026, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to support a three-year research initiative examining predictive processing in spoken language comprehension among young children. The project delivers empirical research products utilizing electroencephalography (EEG) to measure brain activity in 3- to 5-year-old children as they listen to novel and familiar narratives in naturalistic settings. Researchers will construct statistical models to establish relationships between word predictability, story familiarity, and neural responses, advancing understanding of how children develop the cognitive ability to predict upcoming words and phonetic features during language comprehension—a foundational capability for language acquisition and human intelligence development. The research employs a child-friendly EEG paradigm designed to collect substantial data efficiently within tasks approximating real-world language exposure outside laboratory environments. No subawards are planned under this award. The project is scheduled for completion on June 30, 2029, and supports NSF's core mission of promoting basic research and education in social, behavioral, and economic sciences through hypothesis-driven investigation of human cognitive development.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
