Human Cognition and Perception

The Human Cognition and Perception Program supports basic research on human cognitive and perceptual functions, and the development of these functions in children. Specific topics include, but are not limited to, visual, auditory, and tactile perception, perceptual and conceptual development, attention, memory, spatial cognition, learning, language processing, reading, motor control, and reasoning. Research supported by the program encompasses a broad range of theoretical perspectives (e.g., symbolic computation, connectionism, dynamical systems), and a wide variety of methods (e.g., experimental studies of normal or cognitively impaired adults or children, computational modeling, functional neuroimaging).

    Target Dates: January 15 and July 15
