Question

This scenario involves higher-order conditioning, where the positive response to the word Thanksgiving is learned through its association with positive stimuli (good food and visits from favorite relatives) that are already conditioned (learned) in Iris. It is not an example of extinction (the disappearance of a learned response), spontaneous recovery (the reappearance of a previously extinct response), or continuous reinforcement (a behavior being reinforced every time it occurs).
