How can a neonate be taught to blink in response to a tone?

A) Through classical conditioning
B) Through observational learning
C) Through social learning
D) Infants cannot be taught to blink in response to a tone.

Classical conditioning is a learning process that occurs when two stimuli are repeatedly paired; a response that is at first elicited by the second stimulus is eventually elicited by the first stimulus alone. In this case, a neonate can be taught to blink in response to a tone if the tone is repeatedly paired with a stimulus that naturally evokes blinking, such as a puff of air to the eyes. Over time, the neonate learns to associate the tone with the impending puff of air and begins to blink in response to the tone alone. This is a fundamental principle demonstrated by Ivan Pavlov through his experiments with dogs.
