Classical conditioning involves learning to associate a neutral stimulus with a meaningful stimulus, such as learning to associate the sound of a bell with the presentation of food. This activity does not involve such learning, so the ability represented by this activity is not classical conditioning. The other options, visual recognition, habituation, and memory, are all involved in this activity, as the child is recognizing and remembering the objects, and habituating to the familiar object while attending to the novel object.
