Vocal Learning III: Do We Control Speech?
from The Information Entropy Podcast · host Dr. Tom Jenks and Mitchell Gatting
Welcome back to the Information Entropy Podcast where Tom is back at his lone ramblings on Vocal Learning. In the previous episodes Tom explored what vocal learning is and how we categorise/define it. This week Tom is taking a look at the implications of being able to choose when to vocalise. A crucial underpinning of proper language use is our ability to produce the sounds when we want to, but what if we can’t? How do other species compare? How do we even test it to find out? Music: HOME – AWAY
