Paired associate learning involves forming associations between two stimuli (e.g. a word and a picture) and then recalling one when presented with the other as a cue, which is a clear example of a stimulus-response relationship in learning. The other options (serial position effect, proactive interference, anchoring) involve different memory phenomena that do not necessarily involve a clear stimulus-response relationship.
