Summary: Supports fundamental research on learning and on how human cognition can be augmented through interactions with people, technology, or context.
Description
The Science of Learning and Augmented Intelligence program supports potentially transformative research that develops basic theoretical insights into learning and augmented intelligence. Run by the U.S. National Science Foundation, it addresses learning in individuals and groups across molecular and cellular mechanisms, brain systems, cognitive and behavioral processes, and social and cultural influences. Augmented intelligence research should explain principled ways to improve human learning, design, complex decision-making, or problem-solving through interactions with others or artificial intelligence.
The program has special interest in collaborative and collective models enabled by technological connectivity, including how people and technology together can achieve more than either alone. It also seeks explanations linking the emergent intelligence of groups, organizations, and networks with individual learning and cognition. Convergent and interdisciplinary projects may be especially valuable, but single-discipline research is also appropriate.
