This project aims to investigate the role of prenatal sound discrimination on postnatal vocal learning and foraging breadth. The project expects to generate new knowledge in the area of neuroscience and psychology using an innovative approach to measure how embryos learn, and determine effects of prenatal vocal experience on the repertoire of postnatal behaviour. Expected outcomes include understanding biological mechanisms for effective learning across life stages that would be useful to develop novel approaches for non-invasive monitoring of embryonic cognition.

本研究旨在探讨出生前声音辨别能力对出生后发声学习和觅食广度的影响。该项目预计将在神经科学和心理学领域产生新的知识，使用创新的方法来测量胚胎如何学习，并确定产前声音经验对产后行为的影响。预期成果包括了解跨生命阶段有效学习的生物学机制，这将有助于开发非侵入性监测胚胎认知的新方法。
