Evidence suggests vocal production learning in a cross-fostered Risso’s dolphin (Grampus griseus) [PDF]
, 2016 Vocal learning is a rare skill in mammals, and we have limited information about the contexts in which they use it. Previous studies suggested that cetaceans in general are skilled at imitating sounds, but only few species have been studied to date.

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2011 Birds use various vocalizations to communicate with one another, and some are acquired through learning. So far, three families of birds (songbirds, parrots, and hummingbirds) have been identified as having vocal learning ability.

Crowd vocal learning induces vocal dialects in bats: Playback of conspecifics shapes fundamental frequency usage by pups. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2017 Vocal learning, the substrate of human language acquisition, has rarely been described in other mammals. Often, group-specific vocal dialects in wild populations provide the main evidence for vocal learning.

To transduce a zebra finch: interrogating behavioral mechanisms in a model system for speech. [PDF]
, 2017 The ability to alter neuronal gene expression, either to affect levels of endogenous molecules or to express exogenous ones, is a powerful tool for linking brain and behavior. Scientists continue to finesse genetic manipulation in mice.

Speech Sensorimotor Learning through a Virtual Vocal Tract [PDF]
, 2013 Studies of speech sensorimotor learning often manipulate auditory feedback by modifying isolated acoustic parameters such as formant frequency or fundamental frequency using near real-time resynthesis of a participant\u27s speech. An alternative approach

Simulating Vocal Imitation in Infants, using a Growth Articulatory Model and Speech Robotics [PDF]
, 2003 In order to shed lights on the cognitive representations likely to underlie early vocal imitation, we tried to simulate Kuhl and Meltzoff's experiment (1996), using Bayesian robotics and a statistical model of the vocal tract that had been fitted to pre ...

Discovering Communication [PDF]
, 2006 What kind of motivation drives child language development? This article presents a computational model and a robotic experiment to articulate the hypothesis that children discover communication as a result of exploring and playing with their environment.

Unifying the gestural and the vocal in the evolution of culture, the arts, and the brain
Frontiers in PsychologyCultural evolution in humans is based on the transmission of knowledge and know-how through the process of social learning. Humans have evolved two distinct mechanisms of social learning, although they tend to be discussed in completely separate ...
