Answer:

It is an example of a conditioned response by a conditioned stimulus.

Explanation:

Pavlov's Classical Conditioning includes certain stimulus used to generate certain behavior in a person, using stimulus and responses.

Here is the procedure for such conditioning:

  1. At first, the subject is presented with an unconditioned stimulus, in this case the shower.
  2. There is a neutral stimulus which has no meaning to the subject yet, in this case the flushing of the toilet, which causes the water to turn hot and hurts Adam.
  3. Adam begins associating the sound of the toilet flushing with the hot water, causing a conditioned response, since the sound has become a conditioned stimulus.

By the end of the process, Adam has associated the sound of flushing with the hot water, thus he leaps out of the way to avoid the pain.
