Preferred term

second-order conditioning  

Definition

  • A classical conditioning procedure in which a conditioned stimulus (e.g. a sound) is initially capable of producing a conditioned response (e.g. salivation of a dog) after being paired with an unconditioned stimulus (food). Then, the first conditioned stimulus is paired with a neutral stimulus (for example, the sound is associated with the presentation of a light). Second order conditioning is established if this second stimulus then elicits the conditioned response (salivation).
