The vocal communication of different kinds of smile [PDF]
Speech Communication, 2008 The present study investigated the vocal communication of naturally occurring smiles. Verbal variation was controlled in the speech of 8 speakers by asking them to repeat the same sentence in response to a set sequence of 17 questions, intended to provoke reactions such as amusement, mild embarrassment, or just a neutral response.

Bat vocal sequences enhance contextual information independently of syllable order
iScience, 2023 Summary: Many animals, humans included, rely on acoustic vocalizations for communication. The complexity of non-human vocal communication has been under debate one of the main open questions being: What could be the function of multi-syllabic vocal ...

Cognitive control of complex motor behavior in marmoset monkeys
Nature Communications, 2019 Whether marmosets can exhibit complex motor tasks in controlled experimental designs has not yet been demonstrated. Here, the authors show that marmoset monkeys can be trained to call on command in controlled operant conditioning tasks.

Interpersonal synchrony across vocal and lexical modalities in interactions involving children with autism spectrum disorder [PDF]
JASA Express Letters, 2022 Quantifying behavioral synchrony can inform clinical diagnosis, long-term monitoring, and individualised interventions in neuro-developmental disorders characterized by deficit in communication and social interaction, such as autism spectrum disorder. In

Limiting parental feedback disrupts vocal development in marmoset monkeys
Nature Communications, 2017 The development of mature vocal patterns is shaped by parental influence in many animals. Here, Gultekin and Hage show that parental feedback not only influences vocal development, but is indeed necessary for juvenile marmosets to acquire normal vocal ...
