We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.
You can help! If you notice any innacuracies, please
sign in and mark grants as correct or incorrect matches.

Sobel, David M [⬀] |
F31Activity Code Description:
To provide predoctoral individuals with supervised research training in specified health and health-related areas leading toward the research degree (e.g., Ph.D.). |
Causal Explantation and Categorization in Development @ University of California Berkeley
DESCRIPTION (Adapted from Applicant's Abstract): While it is well documented that children with autism are impaired in their language development, research on their categorization has shown little to no impairment. However, such research has focused only on children's categorization using perceptual features of objects and not considered what role causality plays in conceptual development. This project seeks to examine conceptual and language development in both normal children and children with autism, focusing on their causal understanding of the world. Furthermore, conceptual development has usually been related to aspects of language development. It is possible that understanding categorization using causal features of objects is related linguistically to providing causal explanations about the world. Children between the ages of 24 months and 6 years will be given categorization tasks that use causal and perceptual cues. They will also be given narrative tasks, designed to elicit explanations about the world. Children with autism of certain ages will also be tested. In this way, we can discover if the linguistic and conceptual developments are linked and what role they might play in diagnosis and treatment.
