Vocal communication is a critical feature of social interaction across species; however, the relation between such behavior in humans and nonhumans remains unclear. To enable comparative investigation of this topic, we review the literature pertinent to interactive language use and identify the superset of cognitive operations involved in generating communicative action. We posit these functions comprise three intersecting multistep pathways: () the Content Pathway, which selects the movements constituting a response; () the Timing Pathway, which temporally structures responses; and () the Affect Pathway, which modulates response parameters according to internal state. These processing streams form the basis of the Convergent Pathways for Interaction framework, which provides a conceptual model for investigating the cognitive and neural computations underlying vocal communication across species.
声音交流是跨物种社会互动的一个关键特征；然而，人类和非人类之间的这种行为关系尚不清楚。为了能够对此主题进行比较研究，我们回顾了与互动语言使用相关的文献，并确定了生成交际行为所涉及的认知操作的超集。我们假设这些功能包括三个相交的多步骤途径：（1）内容途径，它选择构成反应的运动；（2）定时途径，它对反应进行时间结构；（3）情感途径，它根据内部状态调节反应参数。这些处理流构成了互动会聚途径框架的基础，该框架为研究跨物种声音交流背后的认知和神经计算提供了一个概念模型。
