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:

The effects of amphetamine on blocking
TL;DR: Animals that received amphetamine in both stages of the blocking paradigm showed a normal blocking effect, compared with animals that received the drug in either stage alone, which disrupted blocking.

Investigating cue competition in contextual cuing of visual search.
Tom Beesley,David R. Shanks +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence for augmentation of learning is found in 2 contextual cuing experiments, using a visual search task in which patterns of distractor elements predict the location of a target object.

The hide-and-seek of retrospective revaluation: recovery from blocking is context dependent in human causal learning
TL;DR: The results indicate that extinguishing a blocking cue increases conditioned responding to the target cue, and this increase appears to be context dependent, such that increased responding toThe target is limited to the context in which extinction of the blocking cue took place.

Intermodal blocking in honeybees.
TL;DR: Bitterman et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that intermodal and intramodal compounds are not a bar to blocking in honeybees and suggest instead that the discrepant results can be understood in terms of the properties of the component stimuli apart from modal relationships.

Efficient learning mechanisms hold in the social domain and are implemented in the medial prefrontal cortex
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that blocking does indeed occur in the social domain and it does so to a similar degree as observed in the individual domain, and activations in the medial prefrontal cortex show a specific contribution to blocking and learning-related prediction errors in thesocial domain.
