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:

Food anticipation and lever-directed activities in rats
TL;DR: The results of three experiments are interpreted as suggesting that the food-signaling aspects of an appetitive CS and that CS's ability to generate signal-directed behaviors are experimentall separable properties.

Underestimating the rat's intelligence
TL;DR: Evidence of cognition in rats from traditional categories as well as from less ordinary test situations is surveyed, suggesting that a form of 'intellectual optimal foraging' may be an apt general description of the rat's cognitive prowess.

General learned irrelevance: Proactive effects on Pavlovian conditioning in dogs
Nancy K. Dess,J. Bruce Overmier +1 more
TL;DR: This paper showed that prior exposure to random CSs and shocks, but not to signaled shocks or shocks alone, reduced conditioning to the new CS and shocks in a different context, and the role of CS-US noncontingency during preexposure was unclear.

Ontogeny of Learning
TL;DR: This chapter begins with a brief review of the major premises of the psychological and ethological approaches to the comparative analysis of learning, and considers a few of the reasons for the current paradigm crisis in the experimental analysis oflearning.

Outcome maximality and additivity training also influence cue competition in causal learning when learning involves many cues and events.
TL;DR: The results showed that outcome maximality and additivity training had an influence on cue competition but that this influence was more pronounced for forward cue competition than for retrospective cue competition.
