Answer:

Associative learning.

Step-by-step explanation:

An associative learning can be defined as a learning principle which states that behavior can change with the formation of a new response or stimulus. The learning in this form of learning occurs based on the new response.

In the given case, Tammy is showing an associative learning principle. In this scenario, every time a buzzer rings and a puff of air is blown (stimulus) Tammy blinks her eye (response). So, Tammy's behavior changed concerning the ringing of a buzzer that whenever the buzzer rings she blinks her eye thinking a puff of air to come.

So, the correct answer is associative learning.
