By using cocaine or whatever as a US? Ron, this sounds more like
state dependent learning, though I'm not sure of what arrangement you're
thinking of (SDL is only a guess).
I'm not certain that I understand Eamonn's question. Eamonn, do you mean
without a learning history, or do you want to know if visual stimulation can
come to produce physiological effects similar to cocaine/heroin/etc. by
virtue of bearing some functional relation to these substances?
