Animals modulate their behavior by interacting with others. Nevertheless, popular theories of vocal learning frequently overlook the role of ongoing social interactions. New research suggests that a social feedback loop between young male zebra finches and adult females guides the process of song learning.
动物通过与其他动物互动来调节自己的行为。然而,流行的发声学习理论经常忽略了正在进行的社会互动的作用。新的研究表明,年幼的雄性斑胸草雀和成年雌性之间的社会反馈循环指导了它们的歌唱学习过程。
