Higher Order Conditioning: Elevating Associations
Higher Order Conditioning involves establishing a new conditioned response by pairing a previously conditioned stimulus (CS) with a new neutral stimulus. In this process, the new stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus, even without direct pairing with the unconditioned stimulus (UCS). This extends the reach of classical conditioning beyond the initial stimulus, showcasing the brain's ability to form complex associative networks. Higher order conditioning is fundamental in understanding the layered nature of learned responses, demonstrating how learned associations can influence behavior beyond the original pairing of stimuli and responses.
