Detailed explanation-1: -2)Conditioned reflex action is also known as acquired reflex action because these reflexes are not present from the time of birth but are acquired in the lifetime and depend on experiences, learning, and training that causes the conditioned reflex action whereas the inborn reflexes are known as unconditioned reflexes.

Detailed explanation-2: -A conditioned reflex, also called an acquired reflex, is an automatic response to a stimulus that differs from that initially causing the response, but that has become associated with it by repetition, in a process known as classical conditioning.

Detailed explanation-3: -Conditioned reflex: conditioned reflex is the stimulus which is associated with another stimulus and response is generated. For example: Salivation in a hungry dog in response to ringing a bell.

Detailed explanation-4: -In classical conditioning an initially weak or ineffective conditioned stimulus (CS) becomes highly effective in producing a behavioral response after it has been paired temporally with a strong unconditioned stimulus (US). Often a reflex can be modified by both sensitization and classical conditioning.
