Resistance to extinction is the persistence of a behavior even when it is no longer reinforced. This can happen because the organism has learned that sometimes the reinforcement comes after a delay, or because the behavior is intrinsic or inherently reinforcing. Stimulus generalization is when an organism responds in the same way to similar stimuli, reconditioning is when a previously unconditioned stimulus becomes conditioned through association with a new conditioned stimulus, and higher-order conditioning is when a conditioned stimulus is paired with a new conditioned stimulus to create a second conditioned response.
