鸟鸣声长期以来一直是行为学和神经科学领域广泛研究的主题。在雄性鸣禽中，鸣唱获得和产生的神经和行为机制特别好地研究，主要是因为鸟鸣与人类语言有一些重要的特征，例如对声乐学习的关键依赖。然而，鸟鸣和人类的语言一样，主要起着通信信号的作用。歌曲的感知和识别的机制也应该进行调查，以达到更深层次的理解复杂的声音信号的性质。虽然相对较少的注意已经支付给鸣禽相比，信号，最近的研究已经开始揭示雌性鸣禽的鸣禽偏好的神经基础。此外，还有其他关于幼鸟的歌曲偏好的研究，这些研究表明，偏好在社会环境中可能起作用，包括歌曲学习的感觉阶段。了解鸟类这种歌曲偏好的形成、维持、表达和改变的行为和神经机制，将有可能深入了解人类语言交流的机制。然而，要进行这一研究，有必要了解当前在定义和测量歌曲偏好方面的方法学挑战。此外，考虑终极问题对实验室研究人员设计实验和解释结果也很重要。在这里，我们总结了目前的理解，歌曲偏好的女性和少年鸣禽在丁伯根的四个问题的背景下，将结果范围从行为学领域的研究，最新的神经科学研究结果。我们还讨论了这一领域存在的问题和遗留问题，并提出了一些可能的解决方案和未来的发展方向。
Birdsong has long been a subject of extensive research in the fields of ethology as well as neuroscience. Neural and behavioral mechanisms underlying song acquisition and production in male songbirds are particularly well studied, mainly because birdsong shares some important features with human speech such as critical dependence on vocal learning. However, birdsong, like human speech, primarily functions as communication signals. The mechanisms of song perception and recognition should also be investigated to attain a deeper understanding of the nature of complex vocal signals. Although relatively less attention has been paid to song receivers compared to signalers, recent studies on female songbirds have begun to reveal the neural basis of song preference. Moreover, there are other studies of song preference in juvenile birds which suggest possible functions of preference in social context including the sensory phase of song learning. Understanding the behavioral and neural mechanisms underlying the formation, maintenance, expression, and alteration of such song preference in birds will potentially give insight into the mechanisms of speech communication in humans. To pursue this line of research, however, it is necessary to understand current methodological challenges in defining and measuring song preference. In addition, consideration of ultimate questions can also be important for laboratory researchers in designing experiments and interpreting results. Here we summarize the current understanding of song preference in female and juvenile songbirds in the context of Tinbergen’s four questions, incorporating results ranging from ethological field research to the latest neuroscience findings. We also discuss problems and remaining questions in this field and suggest some possible solutions and future directions.
