Associating a conditioned stimulus with a new neutral stimulus can create a second (often weaker) conditioned stimulus. This best illustrates

B) spontaneous recovery.
C) intermittent reinforcement.
D) higher-order conditioning.

Higher-order Conditioning

A conditioned response is linked to a new stimulus by associating the new stimulus with a previously conditioned stimulus.

Conditioned Stimulus

A previously neutral stimulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus, comes to trigger a conditioned response.

Neutral Stimulus

A stimulus that initially produces no specific response other than focusing attention before it is associated with an unconditioned stimulus.
