That's just thought association, classical (pavlovian) conditioning is about a conditioned stimulus creating a learned response, not a thought, eg if you were to be shudder every time you heard 'Pavlov' because you thought of dogs.

If I start to salivate in sympathetic parallel to the imagined hungry dogs, does that count?

I always think of the VR game these days

My daughter was watching Bluey the other day, and Bingo wanted some "Pavlova". I immediately thought it was some reference to them all being dogs and Pavlov.

Nope. Turns out it's actually a dessert named after a Russian ballerina that originated in either New Zealand or Australia in the early 20th century.

I think of a VR-only shooter where all the kids try to climb on me because I'm usually the tallest motherfucker in the game.
