In Pavlov's experiments on second-order conditioning, the dogs were conditioned to salivate at the sight of a black square, even though the black square was never directly associated with food. This means that the black square became a conditioned stimulus through its association with a previously established conditioned stimulus (such as the sound of a bell, which was previously paired with food). This is known as second-order conditioning.
