Using the Classical Conditioning and Conditioned vs Unconditioned Stimulus knowledge points
The sentence describes a type of learning where an "unconditioned stimulus" unconditionally (naturally and automatically) elicits a reaction. The example given is black pepper blown into the eye (unconditioned stimulus) producing a blinking response (unconditioned response).

Match the description to the correct psychological concept

Using the Classical Conditioning knowledge point
This process of pairing an unconditioned stimulus that naturally triggers a response with a new, neutral stimulus is the defining characteristic of classical conditioning. Operant conditioning, by contrast, involves associating behaviors with consequences (reinforcements or punishments).
