Vocal mimicry
Are there any aspects of biology that you feel are neglected? I would say systematics. A field that clearly doesn’t get the credit it deserves. Without having a firm understanding of species boundaries and how things are related to each other, doing comparative biology is impossible. Perhaps it stems from my fascination with 8– 9th century zoology, but I find it a very interesting subject in it...
متن کاملEye Gaze Affects Vocal Intonation Mimicry
Eye gaze and behavioral mimicry are important foundations of social interaction. Inspired by recent studies on eye-gaze mediated spontaneous behavioral mimicry of gestures, we studied the effect of eye gaze direction on vocal mimicry. Participants were instructed to repeat digits spoken by a virtual agent with a direct or averted eye gaze. As a measure of imitation, the vocal pitch was recorded...
متن کاملVocal mimicry in male bowerbirds: who learns from whom?
Vocal mimicry is one of the more striking aspects of avian vocalization and is widespread across songbirds. However, little is known about how mimics acquire heterospecific and environmental sounds. We investigated geographical and individual variation in the mimetic repertoires of males of a proficient mimic, the spotted bowerbird Ptilonorhynchus maculatus. Male bower owners shared more of the...
متن کاملContext-dependent vocal mimicry in a passerine bird.
How do birds select the sounds they mimic, and in what contexts do they use vocal mimicry? Some birds show a preference for mimicking other species' alarm notes, especially in situations when they appear to be alarmed. Yet no study has demonstrated that birds change the call types they mimic with changing contexts. We found that greater racket-tailed drongos (Dicrurus paradiseus) in the rainfor...
متن کاملFrom Mimicry to Language: A Neuroanatomically Based Evolutionary Model of the Emergence of Vocal Language
The auditory cortex communicates with the frontal lobe via the middle temporal gyrus (auditory ventral stream; AVS) or the inferior parietal lobule (auditory dorsal stream; ADS). Whereas the AVS is ascribed only with sound recognition, the ADS is ascribed with sound localization, voice detection, prosodic perception/production, lip-speech integration, phoneme discrimination, articulation, repet...
