Selective Vocal Learning in a Sparrow
Science, 1977Male swamp sparrows learn their songs; they fail to learn songs of the sympatric song sparrow. Syllables from tape recordings of both species of sparrow were spliced into an array of swamp sparrow-like and song sparrow-like temporal patterns. Swamp sparrows learned only those songs made of swamp sparrow syllables.

Cetacean vocal learning and communication
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2014The cetaceans are one of the few mammalian clades capable of vocal production learning. Evidence for this comes from synchronous changes in song patterns of baleen whales and experimental work on toothed whales in captivity. While baleen whales like many vocal learners use this skill in song displays that are involved in sexual selection, toothed ...

Precise auditory–vocal mirroring in neurons for learned vocal communication
Nature, 2008Brain mechanisms for communication must establish a correspondence between sensory and motor codes used to represent the signal. One idea is that this correspondence is established at the level of single neurons that are active when the individual performs a particular gesture or observes a similar gesture performed by another individual.

INTRODUCTION Marine mammals stand out among nonhuman mammals in their abilities to modify their vocalizations on the basis of auditory experience. While there is good evidence that terrestrial mammals learn to comprehend and use their calls correctly, there is much less evidence for modification of vocal production (Seyfarth & Cheney, Chapter 13). In

Vocal Learning in Nonhuman Primates: Importance of Vocal Contexts
2008Humans acquire languages indeed naturally. Although newborn infants can not speak anything, they acquire normal speech by hearing adults’ conversations without some explicit training. Human infants learn a language which they are exposed to in childhood.

The American Naturalist, 1972
Facts and theories on the evolution of vocal learning in mammals and birds are reviewed. An attempt is made to articulate principles of general heuristic importance. Different contexts in which vocal learning occurs are evaluated. It is concluded that maximal stimulation of females and benefits accruing from formation of vocal dialects have been ...

A paradox in the evolution of primate vocal learning
Trends in Neurosciences, 2004The importance of auditory feedback in the development of spoken language in humans is striking. Paradoxically, although auditory-feedback-dependent vocal plasticity has been shown in a variety of taxonomic groups, there is little evidence that our nearest relatives--non-human primates--require auditory feedback for the development of species-typical ...

Learn Global, Act Local, and Be Vocal
Journal of Patient Safety, 2011I n this first issue of the 2011 edition of the Journal of Patient Safety, it is important for us to stop and take a look in the mirror as we chart our course for the journal and our own leadership trajectory. It is time for us to challenge ourselves to do whatever we can to accelerate improvement in patient safety because our fight against health care

The role of perceptual learning in emotional vocalizations.
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2010Vocalizations like screams and laughs are used to communicate affective states, but what acoustic cues in these signals require vocal learning and which ones are innate? This study investigated the role of auditory learning in the production of non-verbal emotional vocalizations by examining the vocalizations produced by people born deaf.
