Analyze the definition of higher-order conditioning
Higher-order conditioning (also known as second-order conditioning) is a classical conditioning situation where a well-established conditioned stimulus (\(\text{CS}_1\)) is paired with a new neutral stimulus (\(\text{NS}_2\)) to create a second conditioned stimulus (\(\text{CS}_2\)). In this process, the established conditioned stimulus (\(\text{CS}_1\)) acts as if it were an unconditioned stimulus (\(\text{US}\)) to support the new conditioning, not the conditioned response acting as an unconditioned response.
Evaluate the statement
The statement claims that "Higher-order conditioning occurs when a conditioned response acts as an unconditioned response." Since it is the conditioned stimulus that functions like an unconditioned stimulus to associate with a new neutral stimulus, the statement is false.
