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.

Computational Theories of Classical Conditioning

TL;DR: This chapter is an attempt to roughly categorize and briefly summarize the major computational theories that have been developed to understand behavior in classical conditioning.

Short-Term Retention of “Surprising” Events By Pigeons

TL;DR: The results of three experiments tested the idea that retention of an event is directly affected by whether or not the target event is surprising, and do not favour this idea.

Blocking of the response-reinforcer association: Additional evidence☆

TL;DR: In this article, the role of signal location in the delay-of-reinforcement interval was investigated, and the results demonstrated that blocking effects do indeed occur in instrumental conditioning but that the usual procedure of using signals immediately contingent on responding confounds such blocking effects with the competing effects of conditioned reinforcement/marking.

Equivalence-Equivalence Responding: Training Conditions Involved in Obtaining a Stable Baseline Performance.

TL;DR: This article examined the effect of training conditions on the likelihood of equivalence-equivalence responding in the presence of these competing response options across five experiments, including variable reflexivity training, an equivalence test, the type of stimuli used, and the number of training trials.

Blocking of occasion setting in feature-positive discriminations

TL;DR: In two experiments rats received feature-positive discrimination training in which brief conditioned stimuli were paired with food during presentations of an extended feature stimulus, and non-reinforced in its absence, acquisition of control over responding to the CS by the novel feature was blocked.
