声音学习是根据经验修改声音输出的能力。传统上，物种被分类为表现出或缺乏这种能力。最近的一项提案，即声乐学习连续体，认识到需要对这种表型有更细致的看法，并放弃是与否的二分法。然而，它也将声音学习限制为通过模仿产生新的叫声，而且还受到前脑到发声肌肉回路的促进。我们讨论了它在跨物种声音学习特征方面的局限性，并主张更宽容的观点。
Vocal learning is the ability to modify vocal output on the basis of experience. Traditionally, species have been classified as either displaying or lacking this ability. A recent proposal, the vocal learning continuum, recognizes the need to have a more nuanced view of this phenotype and abandon the yes-no dichotomy. However, it also limits vocal learning to production of novel calls through imitation, moreover subserved by a forebrain-to-phonatory-muscles circuit. We discuss its limitations regarding the characterization of vocal learning across species and argue for a more permissive view.
