B)second-order conditioning.
C)additive conditioning.
D)summation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process described in the question is second-order conditioning, where a neutral stimulus becomes associated with a previously conditioned stimulus. Option A, stimulus generalization, refers to the extension of a learned response to similar stimuli not involved in the original conditioning. Option C, additive conditioning, and option D, summation, are not relevant to the process described in the question.
