Explanation:

Higher-order conditioning learning process whereby once a conditioned response has been established, the conditioned stimulus can serve, in turn, as an unconditioned stimulus to establish an unconditioned response to a third stimulus, that is, it is a process which is carried out after doing a classic or response conditioning, in this it is intended that the conditioned stimulus (and because it generates a conditioned response) is associated with another (neutral) stimulus, so that a new conditioning is carried out between these it could be understood that first there is a stimulus that becomes conditioned and second this stimulus is associated with another, so that the second (new neutral stimulus) begins to generate the responses of the first (conditioned stimulus).
