Abstract
First-order classical fear conditioning trials (tone paired with shock) were interspersed with second-order classical conditioning trials (light paired with the tone). Subsequently, Ss (rats) learned to escape the light by jumping a hurdle. Comparison of this performance with that of two control groups allowed the conclusion that fear was conditioned at the second order.
