In this process, the established conditioned stimulus ($\text{CS}_1$) acts as if it were an unconditioned stimulus ($\text{US}$) to help condition the new neutral stimulus. ## Evaluate the statement The statement says: "Higher-order conditioning occurs when a conditioned response acts as an unconditioned response." This is incorrect. It is the established *conditioned stimulus* ($\text{CS}$) that functions like an *unconditioned stimulus* ($\text{US}$) to elicit the response and pair with the new neutral stimulus. The responses themselves (conditioned response and unconditioned response) are physiological or behavioral reactions, not the active conditioning agents. Therefore, the statement is false.
