- This federal Project Grant award of $425,748, provided by the National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, supports two related studies to advance the understanding of early language development in infants. The first study involves observing parent-infant interactions, with infants wearing eye-tracking devices to determine when speech is interpretable to them. The second study creates and...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $370,236 to the University of South Florida to use sensing technology and automated speech recognition to capture teacher-child language interactions in diverse pre-K classrooms. The project aims to examine how often preschool teachers engage in language interactions with students, whether certain children receive fewer or briefer interactions,...
- This $373,993 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a collaborative research study on the cognitive and embodied processes involved in geometry learning. The research team at the University of Wisconsin-Madison will collect and analyze data on students' body movements, speech, and interactions as they play a mathematics learning game designed to encourage physical engagement. Using AI-powered...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $160,000 supports an early career postdoctoral research fellowship examining how children acquire vocabulary related to spatial relations. The research, conducted under the sponsorship of Dr. John Trueswell at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Barbara Landau at Johns Hopkins University, will investigate how typically developing children learn the meanings of spatial terms...
