Natacha's fear of rubbing alcohol is a classic example of classical conditioning. The process involves the pairing of a neutral stimulus (in this case, the smell of rubbing alcohol) with an unconditioned stimulus (the discomfort or pain caused by the vaccination shots). Over time, the neutral stimulus becomes associated with the unconditioned stimulus and triggers a conditioned response (Natacha's fear).
