Blocking and pseudoblocking: new control experiments with honeybees.
TL;DR: The results show that the effects of the different treatments of nontarget stimuli commonly compared in blocking experiments may generalize to the target stimulus and thus affect responding to that stimulus independently of experience with it.

A Bayesian Theory of Sequential Causal Learning and Abstract Transfer
TL;DR: Based on sequential patterns of cue-outcome co-occurrence, the theory can account for a range of phenomena in sequential causal learning, including various blocking effects, primacy effects in some experimental conditions, and apparently abstract transfer of causal knowledge.

TL;DR: The repeated finding of an inverse relationship between strength of aversion to the target and interference flavors is interpreted as support for an associative competition hypothesis of the interference effect.

Circadian effects of escapable and inescapable shock on the food intake and wheelrunning of rats
Richard A. Bauman,G.Jean Kant +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that although inescapable shock disrupts food intake more than escapable shock, this disruption is specific to the duration of the shock stage and depends on rat's circadian pattern of intake.
