• classical conditioning 
• operant conditioning 
• observational learning 
• none of the above

Every time someone flushes a toilet in the apartment building, the shower becomes very hot and causes the person to jump back. Over time, the person begins to jump back automatically after hearing the flush, before the water temperature changes.
