TLDR
The role of attention in Pavlovian conditioning, and use of auditory and visual stimuli to condition rats is discussed in this article, where the authors discuss the use of both visual and auditory stimuli.Abstract:

A connectionist model of septohippocampal dynamics during conditioning: closing the loop.
TL;DR: The model successfully accounts for changes in behavior and septohippocampal activity observed in studies of the acquisition, retention, and generalization of conditioned responses and accounts for the effects of septal disruption on conditioning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple determinants of "blocking" effects on operant behavior
TL;DR: Which effect (blocking or conditioned reinforcement) occurred depended critically on the response-reinforcer interval, and Signal presentation decreased response rate when delay of reinforcement was 0 or .5 sec, but the signal increased response rates when the delay of reinforce was increased to 3 sec.

Blocking of first- and second-order autoshaping in pigeons
C. M. Leyland,N. J. Mackintosh +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the development of autoshaped pecking to a keylight signaling food was blocked if the keylight was presented only in conjunction with another stimulus already established as a signal for food, even though the blocking stimulus (either an overhead light or a train of clicks) never elicited pecking itself.

Self-administration cues as signals: drug self-administration and tolerance.
TL;DR: The results of Experiment 3 indicate that the ataxic effect of intravenous heroin also was greater in Y than in SA rats, suggesting that SACs contribute to drug tolerance.

The US-preexposure effect in lithium-induced flavor-aversion conditioning is a consequence of blocking by injection cues.
TL;DR: The US-preexposure effect obtained in these experiments can be explained solely in terms of blocking by injection cues, although other mechanisms may contribute to the effect seen in other flavor-aversion paradigms.
