Evolving the capacity for socially guided vocal learning in songbirds: a preliminary study

Abstract: Socially guided vocal learning, the ability to use contingent reactions from social partners to guide immature vocalizations to more mature forms, is thought to be a rare ability known to be used only by humans, marmosets and two unrelated songbird species (brown-headed cowbirds and zebra finches). However, this learning strategy has never been investigated in the vast majority of species that are known to modify their vocalizations over development. We propose a novel, preliminary evolutionary modelling appro… Show more

“…But this may stem from the subtlety of the interactions involved so that the possibility has not been examined in many. Carouso-Peck & Goldstein [17] have looked at a wide variety of songbirds and identified several features that make such influences likely. They thus pinpoint a group of species, scattered across the phylogenetic tree of songbirds that deserve study from this viewpoint.…”
