斑胸草雀（Taeniopygia guttata）的歌声是由音节组成的，以固定的顺序发出。关于控制这种时间传递的程序知之甚少。唱或不唱的决定可能会或可能不会影响整首歌。歌曲，一旦开始，可能会继续或可能会停止。如果歌曲暂停，则仅在某些点处会出现停顿。七只斑胸草雀在唱歌的时候被给予短时间的闪光灯。感兴趣的变量是鸟是否停下来以及停在哪里。结果可以总结如下：正在进行的斑胸草雀的歌曲可以被中断，中断发生在歌曲中的离散位置，并且位置几乎总是落在歌曲音节之间。这些结果揭示了一个功能代表的歌曲生产和地方的限制，可能的神经机制，在斑马雀和其他鸣禽的歌曲生产。研究结果还提出了关于歌曲感知和记忆要素的假设。（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2016阿帕，保留所有权利）
Zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) song is composed of syllables delivered in a set order. Little is known about the program that controls this temporal delivery. A decision to sing or not to sing may or may not affect the entire song. Song, once commenced, may continue or may halt. If song is halted, stops may occur only at certain points. Seven zebra finches were presented with short bursts of strobe light while engaged in song. The variables of interest were whether the birds stopped and where they stopped. The results can be summarized as follows: Ongoing zebra finch song can be interrupted, interruptions occur at discrete locations in song, and the locations almost always fall between song syllables. These results reveal a functional representation of song production and place constraints on possible neural mechanisms that underlie song production in zebra finches and probably other oscine species. The results also raise hypotheses about the elements of song perception and memory.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
