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:

Stimulus processing and stimulus selection in rats with hippocampal lesions.
TL;DR: The data suggest that the attention-like deficit of hippocampal subjects may be due to an inability to encode stimuli properly, and they appear deficient in forming appropriate internal representations of contingent events.

Pairing novel exteroceptive cues and illness reduces illness-induced taste aversions.
TL;DR: It is concluded that pairing novel exteroceptive stimulation with a poison attenuates the development of an aversion to a taste subsequently paired with the poison.

Evolution of Associative Learning in Chemical Networks
TL;DR: There is little reason to believe that a lack of suitable phenotypic variation would prevent associative learning from evolving in cell signalling, metabolic, gene regulatory, or a mixture of these networks in cells.

What we have learned from the study of learning in the leech.
TL;DR: It is found that important properties for encoding predictability, such as circuit reconfiguration, may lie in the US pathway and that at least two US pathways contribute to learning, the Retzius cell pathway and the nociceptive cell pathway.

The power of associative learning and the ontogeny of optimal behaviour.
TL;DR: It is concluded that associative learning, supported by genetic predispositions and including the oft-neglected phenomenon of conditioned reinforcement, may suffice to explain the ontogeny of optimal behaviour in most, if not all, non-human animals.
