我们研究了如何61年轻的斑胸草雀（Taeniopygia guttata）男性复制5个成年导师的歌曲。斑胸草雀的歌声由一串5-15个不同的音节组成，这些音节被复制成块，或连续音节的串（模态长度= 3）。两个音节之间的无声间隔被复制为无声后音节的一部分。复制块的边界落在导师的歌曲内的一致的位置，标志着一个相对较长的音节间的沉默期，呼叫和noncall-like音节之间的过渡，和导师男性的趋势，以停止他的歌曲短。年轻的雄性也倾向于在他们复制的块的边界处中断他们的歌声。组块似乎是歌曲组织中的中间层次，并且具有感知（音节作为组块的一部分学习）和运动（歌曲的传递几乎完全在组块边界处被破坏）方面。
We examined how 61 young zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) males copied song from 5 adult tutors. Zebra finch song consists of a string of 5-15 distinct syllables, and these syllables were copied as chunks, or strings of consecutive syllables (modal length = 3). The silent interval between 2 syllables was copied as part of the syllable after the silence. Copied chunks had boundaries that fell at consistent locations within the tutor's song, marked by a relatively long intersyllable silent period, a transition between call-like and noncall-like syllables, and a tendency for the tutor male to stop his song short. Young males also tended to break their songs off at the boundaries of the chunks they had copied. Chunks appear to be an intermediate level of hierarchy in song organization and to have both perceptual (syllables were learned as part of a chunk) and motor (song delivery was broken almost exclusively at chunk boundaries) aspects.
