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:

Serial learning, interitem associations, phrasing cues, interference, overshadowing, chunking, memory, and extinction
TL;DR: In this article, it was found that one item could become a signal for another item, an interitem association, or be overshadowed by a phrasing cue, such as a brightness and temporal cue, also signaling that item.

Preconditioning exposure to the unconditined stimulus affects the acquisition of a conditioned emotional response
Alan Randich,Vincent M. LoLordo +1 more
TL;DR: Four experiments examined the UCS preexposure phenomenon using conditioned suppression of food-reinforced responding as a measure of excitatory conditioning, and electric shock as a UCS to show equal or greater attenuation of CER conditioning than rats which could not escape shock during the preex exposure phase.

Learning without memory
TL;DR: After a CSUS learning trial, powerful feedback (FB) selectively modulates the hedonic value of the US, perhaps affecting the CS as well, as well as influencing the subject's unconscious motives in a single trial.

TL;DR: It is concluded that high-frequency hearing, low-frequency sensitivity, and total area of the audible field are well correlated with phyletic level, while lowest threshold and best frequency are not.

The Operant-Respondent Distinction Revisited: Toward An Understanding Of Stimulus Equivalence
TL;DR: The distinction between operant and respondent behavior classes has received considerable attention throughout the history of behavior analysis as mentioned in this paper, and it is suggested that the failure of behavior analysts to recognize the ever-present role of respondent relations in operant conditioning experiments may be impeding the formulation of an effective explanation for stimulus equivalence, which has been investigated primarily as an operant phenomenon.
