playing 4M with stadard carding you lead a king on dummy´s doubleton, declarer wins the ace and plays the ten back to your jack.

Should partner play suit preference or count here?

The first card on the king should be attitude, unless you play a carding convention advocated by some.
Partner might want to know whether you can win the second round or he could have led from KQT and declarer might duck.
The second card on the jack should be suit preference.

Since the K was led, partner should have shown Count on that 1st lead.
Next is the time to show Suit Preference .

I advise you to keep it simple and follow the standard priorities rule: att, count, SP

If K asked for attitude, then 2nd card should be present count
If K asked for count, then 2nd card should be SP

I'm assuming from the question that the signal you gave at trick one was attitude.

I think the meaning of the second-round signal depends on the situation. I wouldn't want to have a rigid rule about it. I think count would be more common than suit-preference, though.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

If responder has shown 5+ cards during the auction all cards are suit preference. Otherwise T1 is attitude and subsequent cards are SP in general.

By the way think of these subsequent signals as salt. Use them sparingly if at all :)

Funnily enough, the more I play, the more signals I give. Not the opposite.
