conditioning
Learned response formation
Conditioning is preparation or training that shapes behavior, skills, or physical capacity.
Athletes undergo conditioning to build strength and endurance.
In psychology, conditioning refers to learned associations between stimuli and responses—Pavlov's dogs salivating at a bell being the classic example.
Hair conditioner and air conditioning share the root sense of bringing something into proper condition.
Years of conditioning made her flinch at raised voices.
