easy · MCAT psych-soc
An animal learns to associate a 'tone' with a 'shock'. Later, it learns that a 'light' also precedes the 'tone'. If the 'light' alone is eventually presented, the animal shows fear. This process of pairing a neutral stimulus with an existing CS is:
- Secondary reinforcement
- Higher-order conditioning
- Operant conditioning
- Aversive conditioning
