conditioned response

Explanation:

Conditioned response is a conditioning process in which an automatic response to a certain stimuli is established. The established of this automatic response could be as a result of training or just neutral stimuli.

It can be said to be the response created for a certain situation by virtue of training or body reaction.

From the question, Jodie's experience of a dog bit which really hurt and made her cry has registered the fact that dogs are harmful in her mind and as such anytime she sees any dogs of any size or colors, she starts to cry.

Cheers.
