This is an example of classical conditioning, where a neutral stimulus (the sight of a cookie) becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus (eating a cookie) that naturally produces an unconditioned response (salivation). Over time, the neutral stimulus alone can elicit the conditioned response (salivation), demonstrating learned behavior.
