Answer:

Classical conditioning

Step-by-step explanation:

Classical conditioning is form of learning in which a conditioned stimulus (CS) becomes paired with an unconditioned stimulus (US) that is not related, in order to elicit a response called conditioned response.

The conditioned stimulus is usually a neutral stimulus (e.g the sound of a pot), the unconditioned stimulus is not neutral (e.g., the taste of a well-cooked meal). This can lead to salivation which is usually and unconditioned response. Overtime when the US is paired with the CS it could lead to a conditioned response which could be similar or different from the unconditional response.
