conditionable
Able to learn
Conditionable describes something that can be conditioned—made dependent on certain requirements, or shaped through training and reinforcement.
In psychology, a conditionable response is one that can be learned through repeated association: Some fears are more conditionable than others.
The word also applies to anything that can have conditions attached: The offer is conditionable on board approval.
