Social context did not consistently modulate the degree to which feedback perturbations caused changes to syllable sequencing. A: example of changes to transition probabilities and entropy for the branch point sequence bcd (d is the target syllable). Spectrograms of the 3 possible transitions from the syllable d—defg (top), efg (middle), and i (bottom)—are plotted on the left, and the transition probabilities under control and altered feedback (AF) conditions for UD and FD song are listed on the right. Below the transition probabilities are the transition entropies for control and AF trials during UD and FD song (red text). To the right of the transition probabilities for both UD and FD song are listed the absolute differences in transition probabilities between control and AF trials (green text). For all experiments, we summarized the effect of feedback perturbation at branch points as 1) the percent change in entropy between control and altered feedback trials and 2) the mean (absolute) change in transition probabilities between control and altered feedback trials. For this example, feedback perturbation caused a smaller change in transition entropy (4 vs. 54%, respectively) and in transition probabilities (0.05 vs. 0.23, respectively) during FD song than during UD song. B: there was considerable variation across experiments in how feedback perturbation affected transition entropy across UD and FD songs. Consequently, there was not a significant difference between UD and FD song in the magnitude of effect of feedback perturbation on transition entropy. C: there also was considerable variation across experiments in how feedback perturbation affected transition probabilities across UD and FD songs, and consequently, there was not a significant difference between UD and FD song in the degree to which feedback perturbation affected transition probabilities. These data suggest that, in contrast to song interruptions and tempo, we did not detect a significant social modulation of the effect of auditory feedback perturbations on syllable sequencing.
