Final answer:
Anton's response to the pickle display is an example of Classical Conditioning, where he has learned to associate the sight of pickles with the taste, leading to a conditioned response of salivation.
Step-by-step explanation:
Anton's fondness for sour pickles causing his mouth to water when seeing a pickle display in a supermarket is an example of Classical Conditioning. In classical conditioning, also known as Pavlovian conditioning, organisms learn to associate two events that repeatedly occur together. Anton has learned to associate the visual cue of the pickle display with the taste of sour pickles, which is an innate response to the sour taste.
The most cited example of classical conditioning is Ivan Pavlov's experiments with dogs, where he trained the dogs to salivate at the sound of a bell, initially associated with the presentation of food. Over time, the bell alone could elicit salivation as the dogs associated the sound with food. Similarly, Anton's sight of the pickle display alone triggers salivation, because it predicts the taste of pickles.
