鸣禽的歌曲学习在雄性中得到了广泛的研究，但在雌性中却没有。女性更喜欢以前听到的歌曲，但目前还不知道是否有机会学习期间的少年时期影响女性判断歌曲质量的能力。我们发现，早期暴露于成年歌曲的发展需要正常的成年女性斑胸草雀，Tueniopygia guttata，歌曲偏好。雌性在不同的环境中长大，不同的环境中会有不同的歌声。作为年轻的成年人，这些女性的歌曲偏好进行了测试，使用两个选择扬声器协议与不熟悉的歌曲刺激。女性长大成人男性喜欢辅导（正常质量）的歌曲，而女性长大成人男性没有可能喜欢未辅导（异常质量）的歌曲辅导的歌曲。所有三组女性喜欢同种金丝雀的歌曲，但没有表现出偏好的歌曲，时间上逆转或播放。我们的研究结果表明，一个正常饲养的女性的喜好，歌曲更多的注意事项和频谱复杂性是在早期暴露于成年男性，产生这样的歌曲。(C)2004年动物行为研究协会由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。版权所有。
Song learning in songbirds has been studied extensively in males but not in females. Females prefer songs previously heard, but it is not known whether opportunity for learning during the juvenile period affects the ability of females to judge song quality. We show that early exposure to adult song is required in the development of normal adult female zebra finch, Tueniopygia guttata, song preferences. Females were reared in conditions that varied in the exposure to song. As young adults, these females were tested for song preference using a two-choice speaker protocol with unfamiliar song stimuli. Females reared with adult males preferred tutored (normal-quality) song, whereas females reared without adult males were as likely to prefer untutored (abnormal-quality) song as tutored song. All three groups of females preferred conspecific to canary song but showed no preference for songs that were temporally reversed or played forward. Our results suggest that a normally reared female's preference for songs with more notes and spectral complexity is learned during early exposure to adult males that produce such songs.
