Critical Learning Periods in Deep Neural Networks (2017, background): “Either “critical” or “sensitive” periods have been observed, among others, in auditory space processing (8), ﬁlial imprinting (9), song learning in songbirds (10), language proﬁciency (11), and behavioral development (12).”
The evolution of learning (2004, background): “They are known to be absent in at least some non-song-learning species (Konishi, 1985).”
Bird Song: The Interface of Evolution and Mechanism (2004, unknown): “Bird breeders long recognized that “student” birds often faithfully reproduce song patterns of their vocal “tutors” (Thorpe 1961, Konishi 1985).”
An ultra-sparse code underliesthe generation of neural sequences in a songbird (2002, unknown): “Songbirds produce highly stereotyped, learned vocalization”
Early Speech Perception and Later Language Development: Implications for the "Critical Period" (2005, background): “In songbirds, learning the species-typical song depends on experience during a critical temporal window; presentation of conspecific song during that time is essential for normal development (Konishi, 1985; Marler, 1970).”
Sensitive Periods in the Development of the Brain and Behavior (2004, background): “This possibility is suggested, for example, for the circuits responsible for song learning in songbirds, in which plasticity is limited to a critical period in some species but not in other closely related species (Konishi, 1985).”
Instructed learning in the auditory localization pathway of the barn owl (2002, background): “Analogous, long-lasting effects of learning during the sensitive period on adult performance have been reported for song learning in song bird”
