Higher order conditioning occurs when a conditioned stimulus is used as an unconditioned stimulus to condition a new stimulus. In other words, the previously learned stimulus becomes a cue for further learning. Primary conditioning (A) refers to the initial pairing of an unconditioned stimulus with a neutral stimulus to create a conditioned response. Secondary conditioning (B) refers to the pairing of a previously conditioned stimulus with a new neutral stimulus to create a conditioned response.
