These early songs may have uneven pitch, irregular tempo, ____ notes that are out of order or poorly reproduced.
However, sound graphs of songs recorded over several weeks or months reveal that during this practice period the bird fine-tunes his efforts until he produces an ____ copy of the memorized template.

Among the many costs of cognitive adaptations, ____ the most prominent one is that the neural tissue underlying the abilities is energetically expensive to grow and maintain.
Thus, the key to understanding when improved cognition will be selected for is gaining insight into the relative costs and benefits of the ability for ____ lineage in question.
