recommendations! Published in 2022 at "American Journal of Primatology"

DOI: 10.1002/ajp.23430

Abstract: Vocal learning, the ability to modify the acoustic structure of vocalizations based on social experience, is a fundamental feature of speech in humans (Homo sapiens). While vocal learning is common in taxa such as songbirds… read more here.

Cooperative care and the evolution of the prelinguistic vocal learning.

recommendations! Published in 2021 at "Developmental psychobiology"

DOI: 10.1002/dev.22108

Abstract: The development of the earliest vocalizations of human infants is influenced by social feedback from caregivers. As these vocalizations change, they increasingly elicit such feedback. This pattern of development is in stark contrast to that… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2020 at "Animal Behaviour"

DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2020.07.010

Abstract: Hummingbirds have evolved to learn song from conspecifics independently of other bird clades that show this behaviour, such as parrots and oscine passerines. Little is known about how vocal learning occurs in hummingbirds. To determine… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2017.05.004

Abstract: For over half a century now, primate vocalizations have been thought to undergo little or no experience-dependent acoustic changes during development [1]. If any changes are apparent, then they are routinely (and quite reasonably) attributed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2026130118

Abstract: Significance We can recognize the cadence of a friend’s voice or the rhythm of a familiar song across a wide range of tempi. This shows that our perception of temporal patterns relies strongly on the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2308837121

Abstract: Significance The emergence of individuality through learned behavior is common in various animal species. Songbirds develop individually unique songs through vocal learning, influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Using F1 hybrid songbirds as a model… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2024 at "Briefings in Bioinformatics"

DOI: 10.1093/bib/bbae614

Abstract: Abstract Molecular convergence in convergently evolved lineages provides valuable insights into the shared genetic basis of converged phenotypes. However, most methods are limited to coding regions, overlooking the potential contribution of regulatory regions. We focused… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2022 at "Biology Letters"

DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2022.0316

Abstract: Rhythm and vocal production learning are building blocks of human music and speech. Vocal learning has been hypothesized as a prerequisite for rhythmic capacities. Yet, no mammalian vocal learner but humans have shown the capacity… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2017 at "Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences"

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2017.1114

Abstract: Vocal learning from social partners is crucial for the successful development of communication in a wide range of species. Social interactions organize attention and enhance motivation to learn species-typical behaviour. However, the neurobiological mechanisms connecting… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tcds.2020.3041179

Abstract: Sensorimotor learning represents a challenging problem for natural and artificial systems. Several computational models have been proposed to explain the neural and cognitive mechanisms at play in the brain. In general, these models can be… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/science.abf9279

Abstract: Babbling bats A notable aspect of language development in humans is the babbling stage. During this time, toddlers make a range of specific sounds as they practice and imitate adult speech. Humans are not the… read more here.
