Birds rely mostly on exemplar-based memory with weak evidence for rule learning.Ĭategorization Comparative cognition Human Songbirds Speech perception Zebra finch.Support Good News Journalism, Subscribe >Ĭraft. These results suggest that humans rely on rule learning to form categories and show poor performance when they cannot apply a rule. Some individual birds also did so, but most performed higher on the trained exemplars than on the extreme, within-category intermediate and ambiguous test-sounds. Humans performed higher on the trained, extreme and within-category intermediate test-sounds than on the ambiguous ones. Both humans and zebra finches learned the one-dimensional stimulus-response mappings faster than the two-dimensional mappings. Once training was completed, we tested generalization to new speech sounds that were either more extreme, more ambiguous (i.e., close to the category boundary), or within-category intermediate between the trained sounds. Sounds could be memorized individually or categorized based on one dimension or by integrating or combining both dimensions.

To examine this, we trained zebra finches and humans to discriminate two pairs of edited speech sounds that varied either along one dimension (vowel or speaker sex) or along two dimensions (vowel and speaker sex). Speech sound categorization in birds seems in many ways comparable to that by humans, but it is unclear what mechanisms underlie such categorization.
