Pairing repeated presentations of a photograph of a water can with subsequent presentations of a photograph of a flower on a computer screen is likely to affect informal judgments of causality in human adults, and will likely share features common to Pavlovian conditioning because it is an example of classical conditioning, where the neutral stimulus (water can) is paired with an unconditioned stimulus (flower) to eventually elicit a conditioned response (judgment of causality).
