Opportunities for interaction were provided by the speech and language therapist using mainly non-verbal communication (facial, vocal, body, and hand gestures) supplemented by key words from the local language supplied by the caregiver and second author.
If so, most living apes and monkeys should exhibit this ability, which need not be evolutionarily related to communication and vocal flexibility, but could be a by-product of other cognitive abilities.
Studying the neurological, genetic, and evolutionary basis of human vocal communication mechanisms using animal vocalization models is an important field of neuroscience.
These results led Seltzer, Ziegler, and Pollak to pursue further research regarding the difference between the effects of vocal communication versus text-based, instant messenger communication.
They are fast runners, and communicate using a variety of visual and vocal communication.
Male and female mice communicate with each other via odor, sound, sight, vocal communication and/or direct contact.
Our results reveal a novel form of vocal communication during mouse courtship, and lay the groundwork for a mechanistic dissection of communication during social behavior.
