Incidental learning (IL) can be studied using sensory preconditioning, a higher-order memory process. Incidental associations between low-salience stimuli (e.g. odors, tastes, lights or tones) happen during a preconditioning phase that is followed by classical conditioning of one of these stimuli with an aversive or appetitive unconditioned reinforcer. As a result, subjects present a response to the directly conditioned stimulus but also a mediated response to the preconditioned stimulus never explicitly reinforced, implying initial IL. We performed three different protocols to study IL using
