February 17th, 2011

Two Stanford psychologists are among 35 recipients of the 2010 21st Century Science Initiative grants from the James S. McDonnell Foundation.

Assistant Professors LERA BORODITSKY and NOAH GOODMAN each will receive $600,000 over the next six years for their work in understanding human cognition. The researchers were “identified by their peers as likely to continue to make important contributions to the ongoing effort to better understand the neural underpinnings and behavioral ramifications of human cognition,” the foundation announced.
