Conditioned reflex
A conditioned reflex is a learned response to a stimulus that has previously been associated with another important stimulus.
Definition
The conditioned reflex is created by associative learning. A classic example is the Pavlovian salivation response in dogs to a sound associated with food. In everyday life, similar mechanisms may involve tension, avoidance, pleasure or habits triggered by specific signals.
