See the work in the field of Psychology by Pavlov and B. F. Skinner for information about Conditional Behaviour hypothesis - the idea that actions learned (e.g. salivating) in response to certain stimuli (e.g. food being prepared) can be recreated when that stimuli is supplied with a second (e.g. a bell) and the first removed.
