Vocal Learning and Auditory-Vocal Feedback [PDF]

, 2016
Vocal learning is usually studied in songbirds and humans, species that can form auditory templates by listening to acoustic models and then learn to vocalize to match the template. Most other species are thought to develop vocalizations without auditory

Vocal usage learning and vocal comprehension learning in harbor seals

BMC Neuroscience
Background Which mammals show vocal learning abilities, e.g., can learn new sounds, or learn to use sounds in new contexts? Vocal usage and comprehension learning are submodules of vocal learning.

Vocal learning promotes patterned inhibitory connectivity. [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2017
Skill learning is instantiated by changes to functional connectivity within premotor circuits, but whether the specificity of learning depends on structured changes to inhibitory circuitry remains unclear.

Vocal Learning Versus Speech Evolution: Untangling a False Equivalence [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
The evolution of speech remains one of the most profound and unresolved questions in science. Despite significant advancements in comparative research, key assumptions about the evolutionary precursors of speech continue to be accepted with minimal ...

If horses entrain, don’t entirely reject vocal learning: An experience-based vocal learning hypothesis

Empirical Musicology Review, 2013
Bregman and colleagues describe methods for testing whether horses entrain their actions to an auditory beat. If horses can entrain, does this necessarily imply that there is no causal relationship between vocal learning and entrainment?

Of mice, birds, and men: the mouse ultrasonic song system has some features similar to humans and song-learning birds. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Humans and song-learning birds communicate acoustically using learned vocalizations. The characteristic features of this social communication behavior include vocal control by forebrain motor areas, a direct cortical projection to brainstem vocal motor ...

A role for descending auditory cortical projections in songbird vocal learning

eLife, 2014
Many learned motor behaviors are acquired by comparing ongoing behavior with an internal representation of correct performance, rather than using an explicit external reward.

Phylogenetic signal in the vocalizations of vocal learning and vocal non-learning birds. [PDF]

Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2021
Some animal vocalizations develop reliably in the absence of relevant experience, but an intriguing subset of animal vocalizations is learned: they require acoustic models during ontogeny in order to develop, and the learner's vocal output reflects those models. To what extent do such learned vocalizations reflect phylogeny?

The many functions of vocal learning. [PDF]

Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2021
The capacity to learn novel vocalizations has evolved convergently in a wide range of species. Courtship songs of male birds or whales are often treated as prototypical examples, implying a sexually selected context for the evolution of this ability. However, functions of learned vocalizations in different species are far more diverse than courtship ...
