Abstract

We argue that the intentional control of vocal organ is the most basic predisposition for vocal learning and thus for language acquisition. Anatomical substrates for intentional vocal control are the direct cortical-medullar projections that connect face motor cortecies and the nucleus retro-ambiguus. We ask how such projections may be reinforced in non-vocal learners including macaque monkeys and rodents by behavioral manipulations. We hypothesize how such connections may be prepared in humans.
