Answer:

Higher-order conditioning (second-order conditioning)

Explanation:

Higher-order conditioning (second-order conditioning) is not about the direct threaten of stimulus but it is about the indirect threaten of the stimulus. It involves disturbances in emotional and behavioral stimuli. This type of conditioning occurs with the people who faced any type of trauma in their life.

It occurs with the pairing of the situation with the traumatic situation. This conditioning includes negative emotions as well as less or neutral cues related to the situation. Thus the neutral cue creates the same disturbance as happened in the original situation.

Thus here in the above context, Fred's dog was conditioned at the sound of the bell for salvation. After that Fred associated the bell with another stimulus like a whistling sound.

Fred's dog even then salivate when it hears the sound of the whistle, he never heard before. This illustrates the second-order conditioning or higher-order conditioning.

Which of the following is true under the system of checks and balances?

disa [49]

The Senate must ratify treaties negotiated by the President before they become law under the system of checks and balances that is option C is correct.

In order to give the president access to the Senate's advice and counsel, restrain presidential power, and protect state sovereignty by granting each state an equal vote in the treaty-making process, the founders of the Constitution gave the Senate a portion of the power to make treaties. A state will inform the other parties that it has received approval after its own internal processes and that it agrees to be bound by the treaty. It is known as ratification. The state is now legally bound by the terms of the pact. Treaties are not ratified by the Senate. Instead, the Senate debates a ratification resolution, by which it formally advises and consents the president to move forward with ratification. The First Congress's Senate established the standard for how it would conduct treaty discussion.
