... are an excellent model for continued study of the behavioral and neural mechanisms underlying vocal control and auditory feedback. Future behavioral and neurophysiologic experiments will build on these results to elucidate the underpinnings of this complex aspect of primate vocal control and communication...

...S. E. Roian Egnor; Carmen G. Iguina; Marc D. Hauser SUMMARY Auditory feedback is critical for the development and maintenance of speech in humans. In contrast, studies of nonhuman primate vocal production generally report that subjects show little reliance on auditory input. We examined the extent...

...Kenneth N. Prestwich; Kristy M. Lenihan; Deborah M. Martin ABSTRACT The subalar–tegminal resonance/auditory feedback hypothesis attempts to explain how crickets control the carrier frequency ( f C ), the loudness and the spectral purity of their calls. This model contrasts with the ‘clockwork...
