Solution

The cause of Nancy's reaction is classical conditioning. This is a type of learning where a stimulus that initially produced no particular response is associated with another stimulus that produces a reflexive response. In this case, Nancy has associated the sight of McDonald's golden arches (a neutral stimulus) with eating food (an unconditioned stimulus that naturally causes a response of hunger). Over time, just seeing the golden arches is enough to trigger hunger pangs (a conditioned response).
