DIRECTORATE FOR BEHAVIORAL AND COGNITIVE SCIENCES (BCS)
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
