• compound stimulus paired w/ same reward

• No response to second cue

• Test#2

• test & control learn sound predicts a reward

• control given new compound cue predicts reward

• only control expects reward w/ light

• Test#3: expectations of reward on dopamine activity

• dopamine release

• dopamine release before stimulus, promotes learning before cue

• Test#4: second order conditioning
