为了研究在缺乏物种典型鸣叫模型的情况下与同种动物接触的影响，作者在声音隔离的情况下以雄性对雄性对椋鸟进行饲养。这些鸟的歌声与个体分离鸟或野生成鸟的歌声显着不同，并且在某些方面类似于由活体同种鸟辅导的椋鸟的歌声。操作条件反射技术被用来证明歌曲之间的这些差异对于同种人来说在感知上是显着的。结果表明，（a）野生捕获的成年八哥能够形成孤立和野生鸣叫的开放式类别，（b）八哥认为孤立对的鸣叫比“野生”更像“孤立”，以及（c）八哥可以区分孤立对的鸣叫和个体分离的鸣叫。这两个实验都指出了社会因素在鸟类鸣叫发展中的重要性。
To examine the effects of contact with a conspecific in the absence of species-typical song models, the authors raised starlings in male–male pairs in acoustic isolation. The songs of these birds differed significantly from those of either individual isolates or wild adults and resembled in some respects the songs of starlings tutored by live conspecifics. Operant conditioning techniques were used to demonstrate that these differences among songs were perceptually salient to conspecifics. The results indicated that (a) wild-caught adult starlings are capable of forming open-ended categories for isolate and wild song,(b) starlings perceive the songs of isolated pairs as more “isolatelike” than “wildlike,” and (c) starlings can distinguish the songs of isolated pairs from those of individual isolates. Both experiments point to the importance of social factors in avian song development.
