Answer:

Classical Conditioning

Step-by-step explanation:

The type of learning illustrated in this example is called Classical Conditioning. This term refers to a unique learning procedure in which two stimuli are repeatedly paired together, which eventually leads to a response that was initially triggered by the second stimulus is now triggered by the first stimuli alone. Which in this case every time Mark plays with a balloon (first stimuli) it pops (second stimuli) which makes him cry. Now Mark cries when he sees a balloon (first stimuli).
