Describe the process of higher-order conditioning
What will be an ideal response?
In Higher-Order conditioning, the classical conditioning process (called first-order conditioning) is implemented. Generally, this process includes an unconditioned stimulus causing an unconditioned response. Then, a neutral stimulus being presented prior to the unconditioned stimulus which causes an unconditioned response. After several pairings, the neutral stimulus elicits a conditioned response.
Once this process has occurred, a second conditioned stimulus is presented prior to the first conditioned stimulus. After several pairings, Conditioned Stimulus Two will come to elicit the conditioned response. However, the conditioned response will be lower than the original CS–UCS pairings. Pavlov indicated that this process lasts for only approximately three levels and that when a fourth conditioned stimulus was presented with conditioned stimulus three, no conditioning occurs.
