I'm surprised that nobody's pointed out the dual phenomenon of "yay fields", whereby a pleasurable stimulus's affect is transferred to its antecedents.
The field of behavior modification calls this "conditioning", and "higher-order conditioning" if the chain has more than two stimuli.
I can think of plenty of personal "Ugh fields," but I'm having a hard time finding concrete examples of a "yay field." Would you mind illustrating a little further?
