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.
