Abstract

A series of experiments is reported during which three subjects were initially classically conditioned to produce visual percepts to a sound only, second-order conditioned to transfer that response to an animal name, and finally taught a "foreign language". The results suggest that semantic generalization occurs whether the semantic relationships are formed either before or after the conditioned response is established.
