Journal ArticleDOI
BIRDSONG AND HUMAN SPEECH: Common Themes and Mechanisms
TL;DR: Human speech and birdsong have numerous parallels, with striking similarities in how sensory experience is internalized and used to shape vocal outputs, and how learning is enhanced during a critical period of development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitive Periods in the Development of the Brain and Behavior
TL;DR: A hypothesis is proposed that experience during a sensitive period modifies the architecture of a circuit in fundamental ways, causing certain patterns of connectivity to become highly stable and, therefore, energetically preferred.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phobias and preparedness
TL;DR: An analysis of phobias using a more contemporary model of fear conditioning is proposed, and a reconstruction of the notion of symbolism is suggested.

Journal ArticleDOI
The evolution of speech: a comparative review
TL;DR: Comparative analysis of living species provides a viable alternative to fossil data for understanding the evolution of speech, and suggests that the neural basis for vocal mimicry and for mimesis in general remains unknown.

Biological Foundations of Language
TL;DR: The coming of language occurs at about the same age in every healthy child throughout the world as mentioned in this paper, strongly supporting the concept that genetically determined processes of maturation, rather than env...

Journal ArticleDOI
The learning of song patterns by birds, with especial reference to the song of the chaffinch fringilla coelebs
TL;DR: The Chaffinch Fringilla coelebs was chosen as the main subject of investigation because its song displays both inherited and individually learned components, the relation between which is of particular interest.
Song development in the zebra finch and other estrildid finches
TL;DR: In this paper, a root crop cleaning apparatus including a pair of adjacent, counterrotating cleaning rolls arranged in root crop receiving relation is described, one of the rolls being formed by a plurality of resilient disks mounted on a shaft and maintained at equal axial distances by means of smaller diameter spacers interposed between each adjacent pair of rotating disks.

Culturally transmitted patterns of vocal behavior in sparrows.

TL;DR: Male white-crowned sparrows have song "dialects," acquired in about the first 100 days of life by learning from older males, and in the laboratory an alien white-Crowning sparrow dialect can be taught.
