‘All about that bass’
Elephant vocal communication: sound production and adaptive context
Although living in substantially different habitats, African (Loxodonta sp.) and Asian (Elephas maximus) elephants are extremely social and intra-specific communication is highly developed in these species. In particular, elephants are very vocal and acoustic signals play an integral part within the society of African and Asian elephants.
Elephants make extensive use of vocalizations with fundamental frequencies in the infrasonic range and exhibit an interesting vocal plasticity (grading between call types, call type combinations, and sophisticated, context-dependent within-call type flexibility affecting all parameters including vocal tract resonance frequencies (formants). In addition, previously undocumented vocalizations sometimes emerge- mostly documented in captive elephants: sound invention and vocal imitation is apparent in both recent genera of Elephantidae.
In my talk I will discuss vocal production mechanisms and the function of infrasonic vocalizations and will further focus on the vocal learning ability of elephants, it’s neural bases and potential adaptive context.

talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series)
by
Cecilia M. Heyes (University of Oxford)

The cultural evolution of cultural learning
All Souls College and Department of Experimental Psychology, University
of Oxford
Cultural learning is the subset of social cognitive processes that
enable cumulative cultural evolution; they allow humans to pass
information from one generation to the next, and thereby to invent
artefacts, develop institutions, and accumulate bodies of knowledge that
go well beyond the cognitive capacities of individuals or temporally
isolated groups. In common with ‘High Church evolutionary
psychologists’, cultural evolutionists typically assume that the
mechanisms underlying cultural learning are innate modules; that they
evolved by genetic means as adaptations for cultural inheritance. In
contrast, I will suggest in this talk that some of the most important
mechanisms of cultural learning – those involved in imitation,
mindreading, and teaching – are themselves products of cultural
evolution. Examining evidence from comparative and developmental
psychology, and from cognitive neuroscience, I will argue that we learn
from others how to learn from others.
