Classical conditioning.
Explanation:
All right, first of all, classical conditioning is the behavioral consequence of associating a neutral stimulus to a reaction by being linked with a biological stimulus. In our case we are observing a survival/defense reaction Juan performed to survive from the hornets. It was impulsed by the damage the hornets performed on him and he associated it with the neutral stimulus of the hornets sound.
Classical conditioning exemplifies a process of learning through association. The term was coined by Russian psychologist Ivan Pavlov, and thus, it is often called 'Pavlovian Conditioning' that illustrates the production of a new learned response from the association of two stimuli(environmental and naturally occurring). This learning process is more associated with 'behaviorism'. Juan's situation in the given question exemplifies 'classical conditioning' as his frightened state displays his 'learned response'. This learned response is the outcome of linking of two stimuli, first when he was attacked by a swarm of hornets that represents natural and another is the natural that evokes fear and dread in him 'every time he hears the sound of hornets'. Thus, the answer is '<u>classical conditioning</u>'.
