This process is called higher-order conditioning, which involves the pairing of a neutral stimulus with a conditioned stimulus to elicit a conditioned response. In this case, the green light (a neutral stimulus) was paired with the 1000-Hz tone (a conditioned stimulus), leading to the elicitation of a fear response. Eventually, the green light alone can elicit the fear response due to the association with the conditioned stimulus.
