preconditioned
Made ready beforehand
Preconditioned means prepared or treated in advance to respond in a particular way.
A preconditioned response has been shaped by prior experience or training: Years of advertising had preconditioned consumers to associate the brand with quality.
In technical contexts, materials or systems are preconditioned to meet specific requirements before use: The samples were preconditioned at controlled humidity.
The word implies that current behavior or state results from earlier conditioning.
