歌曲曲目的表演方式,虽然可以在程度上改变,但被认为是一种典型的物种特征。本研究探讨了学习是否会影响它。在其早期敏感阶段的歌曲收购,手养夜莺辅导与字符串的主歌类型,其中歌曲类型安排在不同的回合结构。在一种设计(对照)中,呈现具有物种典型歌曲类型排序的弦(即,通用的回合结构,没有歌曲类型重复:A、B、C.)。在另一种设计中,歌曲类型被安排在一种非典型的结构中(即歌曲类型重复:D,D,D,... E,E,E...)。受试者暴露于两种设计(实验组)或仅暴露于多功能设计(对照组)。实验对象在11个月大的时候发出的清晰的歌声表明,他们已经获得了关于被辅导的琴弦的一系列信息。从重复辅导设计获得的歌曲类型被重复显着更频繁地比那些从多功能设计获得。此外,回合长度的歌曲类型的再现表现出的回合长度的各自的主歌曲类型时,介绍。研究结果提供了证据,通过学习,这可能会调节物种典型的歌唱风格的剧目表演节目的收购。
The way in which song repertoires are performed, though modifiable by degree, has been considered to be a species-typical trait. This study examines whether it can be influenced by learning. During their early sensitive phase of song acquisition, hand-raised nightingales were tutored with strings of master song-types in which song-types were arranged in different bout structures. In one design (control), strings with the species-typical song-type sequencing were presented (i.e. versatile bout structure, no song-type repetitions: A,B,C…). In the other design song-types were arranged in a bout structure atypical for the species (i.e. song-type repetitions: D,D,D,… E,E,E…). Subjects were exposed either to both designs (experimental group) or to the versatile design only (control group). The crystallized singing of experimental subjects at 11 months revealed that they had acquired serial information about the tutored strings. Song-types acquired from the repetitive tutoring design were repeated significantly more often than those acquired from the versatile design. Furthermore, the bout length of song-type renditions showed a relationship to the bout length of the respective master song-types upon presentation. The results provide evidence for an acquisition of repertoire performance programmes through learning, which may modulate species-typical singing styles.
