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:

Expression of the CS- and US-pre-exposure effects in the conditioned taste aversion paradigm and their abolition following systemic amphetamine treatment in C57BL6/J mice.
TL;DR: The present study represents the first report of amphetamine-induced disruption of the CS-PE effect (ie latent inhibition) in mice, and the first attempt to compare it directly with the US- PE effect in any species, suggesting that the sensitivity of latent inhibition to amphetamine is largely comparable across species.

Impairments in negative patterning, but not simple discrimination learning, in rats with 192 IgG-saporin lesions of the nucleus basalis magnocellularis.
TL;DR: Impaired configural association learning may reflect a loss in the ability of rats with NBM lesions to attend to multiple sensory stimuli or to cope with conflicting response strategies.

Interfering effects of retrieval in learning new information.
Bridgid Finn,Henry L. Roediger +1 more
TL;DR: The data are novel in showing that the act of retrieving information can inhibit the ability to learn new information shortly thereafter, and the results are difficult to accommodate within current theories that mostly emphasize benefits of retrieval for learning.

Pictures as Feedback in Single Word Learning
Robert T. Solman,Huei-Min Wu +1 more
TL;DR: This paper investigated the possibility of eliminating the adverse effects of pictures by encouraging children to elicit naming-responses in the absence of the pictures and then using pictures as response feedback and found that this feedback cueing technique can avoid the adverse effect of pictures and achieve a learning rate equivalent to that obtained when words were presented alone.

Effective use of Hanyu pinyin and English translations as extra stimulus prompts on learning of Chinese characters
TL;DR: The authors investigated variables associated with the learning of Chinese characters as second language stimuli (L2) and concluded that the presentation of a character first, and the provision of its associated pinyin and English translation after a short delay is recommended when teaching characters for non-native speakers of Chinese at early stage.
