项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This program-project application describes continuation of research on the emergence of cognitive competence supported by NICHD-38051. It builds on the psychological principles and key questions articulated from that research, utilizing methods developed and proven there. The present application extends this research in several important new directions while also addressing questions that were generated by our previous findings. Seven projects are proposed, with research designed to elucidate the emergence of cognitive competence as it is manifest across primate species and development, and in correspondence with brain structure, activity and function. The present application benefits from substantial complementary and convergence between the projects, so that the scientific promise of the entire program greatly exceeds the sum of the anticipated scientific gains of each strong individual project. The psychological processes being investigated (attention, executive function, learning, memory, spatial problem solving, numerical cognition, categorization, motor control) are themselves closely inter-related, and the understanding of any one process dictates studying its relation to the other constructs as well as how each process is altered by the availability of language. The synthesis of these projects, administrative support for this team of investigators, care of the nonhuman primates, maintenance of laboratory resources, and neuroimaging scans will benefit all of the investigations in this program-project, and thus are proposed as core costs. This ensures that the ambitious program of research will be conducted in an efficient and integrative way, using our unique and limited animal resources to yield the greatest scientific gains. We anticipate that the findings from these applications will generate educational and clinical applications, as well as informing theory on learning, language, and cognition from a broad comparative, developmental, and neuropsychological perspective.

描述（由申请人提供）：该计划项目申请描述了由 NICHD-38051 支持的关于认知能力出现的持续研究。它建立在该研究中阐述的心理学原理和关键问题的基础上，利用了该研究中开发和证明的方法。本申请将这项研究扩展到几个重要的新方向，同时也解决了我们之前的发现所产生的问题。提出了七个项目，其研究旨在阐明认知能力的出现，因为它在灵长类动物物种和发育中表现出来，并与大脑结构、活动和功能相对应。本申请受益于项目之间的实质性互补和融合，因此整个计划的科学前景大大超过了每个强大的单个项目的预期科学成果的总和。正在研究的心理过程（注意力、执行功能、学习、记忆、空间问题解决、数字认知、分类、运动控制）本身是密切相关的，对任何一个过程的理解都要求研究它与其他结构的关系：以及每个过程如何因语言的可用性而改变。这些项目的综合、对该研究小组的行政支持、非人类灵长类动物的护理、实验室资源的维护以及神经影像扫描将有利于该计划项目中的所有研究，因此被提议为核心成本。这确保了雄心勃勃的研究计划将以高效和综合的方式进行，利用我们独特且有限的动物资源来产生最大的科学成果。我们预计这些应用的结果将产生教育和临床应用，并从广泛的比较、发展和神经心理学角度为学习、语言和认知理论提供信息。
