what comes to mind when you think of ___

생각나다 is a thought arriving by itself — it happens to you rather than being something you do. The frame [noun] 하면 생각나는 ___ means 'the ___ that springs to mind at the mention of [noun]': 중학교 하면 생각나는 게 흑역사 'what middle school brings to mind is my cringe years', 빙수 하면 생각나는 그 디저트 'the dessert people picture when they think of bingsu'. Note that 하면 here is 'when you say', not 'if you do'.
