Martins, Pedro TiagoBoeckx, Cedric2021-03-232021-03-232020-03-301544-9173https://hdl.handle.net/2445/175636Vocal 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.18 p.application/pdfengcc-by (c) Martins, Pedro Tiago et al., 2020http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/esAprenentatgeAdquisició del llenguatgeComunicació amb els animalsLearningLanguage acquisitionHuman-animal communicationinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article7088012021-03-23info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess32226012
