Description: The Zebra Finches are songbirds which learn the song of their tutor. Zebra finches are commonly used as a model of speech acquisition. Derégnaucourt et al. (2005) showed that sleep plays an important role in the learning of tutor songs. Indeed, they showed that sleeping has a negative impact on song restitution by zebra finches in the short term but a positive impact on the long run. Song restitution is less complex and less similar to the tutor song from one morning to the previous day evening, but the greater this loss in performance was overall for one bird, the better this bird was able to reproduce the tutor song at the end of its learning. The goal of this internship is to offer a model of the zebra finch song learning which can explain different behavioral data observed such as the correlation between the loss of performance every night and the overall performance at the end of learning.
Zebra finch song learning model
The Zebra Finch Bird Song Learning Model project aims to model the loss in performance of zebra finches after sleep which correlates with an increase in song reproduction at the end of their development. We believe this is due because the zebra finch restructures its knowledge during its sleep.
