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:

Amnesia induced by hypothermia as a function of treatment-test interval and recooling in rats
TL;DR: It is suggested that hypothermia may function as an important contextual cue for memory retrieval in rats and that the return of memory produced by recooling did not persist if testing was delayed.

Occasion setting, inhibition, and the contextual control of extinction in Pavlovian and instrumental (operant) learning
TL;DR: The basic hallmarks of occasion setting in Pavlovian conditioning are considered and the key results supporting these distinctions are outlined and discussed.

One-trial overshadowing: evidence of distributive processing.
James H. James,Allan R. Wagner +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence of "overshadowing" following a single training trial was obtained in each of five experiments measuring stimulus-evoked suppression of licking in rats, at odds with those theories that approach overshadowing only as a multiple-trial phenomenon.

Learning, retention and coding of nest-associated visual cues by the Australian desert ant, Melophorus bagoti
TL;DR: This study examines the possible factors affecting the learning and retention of nest-associated visual cues by the Australian desert ant Melophorus bagoti and the manner in which such cues are encoded by foraging ants and shows that a combination of an increase in training trials and an increased in number of training days affected the acquisition of landmark memory.

Blocking of conditioned suppression: role of the first compound trial.
TL;DR: Results suggest that blocking is not due to any competition between stimuli for association with reinforcement, but is a consequence of the animals' ignoring the added element once they have learned that it is redundant.
