  1. acquired reflex

    An acquired reflex, also known as a conditioned reflex, is a response that has been learned or acquired through experience or conditioning. It's not inherent or instinctive, but rather developed in response to different environmental stimuli or situations as part of an adaptation or survival process. Examples could include retracting your hand after touching a hot object or blinking your eyes when a sudden bright light is switched on. These reflexes require learning and practice and occur as a result of repeated exposure to the specific stimuli.
