I'm searching for recent information on the ability to learn a reversal of stimuli sequence. It would be terrific if the information was relevent to animals. I'm interested because it seems closly related to backward conditioning and associations in general. Any help is much appreciated.

This is not recent, but I would think any undertaking to study "a reversal of stimuli sequence" would benefit from reading the following.

Karl S. Lashley (1951). The problem of serial order in behavior. In L. A. Jeffress (Ed.). Cerebral mechanism in beavior: The Hixon Symposium. (pp. 112-146; includes Discussion of Lashley's paper) New York: John Wiley & Sons.
