Conditional reactions refer to responses that occur on the basis of particular circumstances or situations. Synonyms for conditional reactions include dependent reactions, situational responses, context-dependent reactions, and reactive responses. These expressions are used to explain reactions that are not independent of environmental factors but are rather triggered by them. Other words that are similar in meaning include contextualized responses, stimulus-driven actions, and context-sensitive behavior. Understanding and being able to recognize conditional reactions is important in various fields such as medicine, psychology, and neuroscience as it explains how individuals respond to their surroundings and how they react to various stimuli.
