According to Pavlov's procedures, Lilo's behavior in this scenario is an example of _____.

Answer 1

A conditioned response.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditioned response refers mainly to a learning procedure where a
`\text{biologically potent stimulus is paired with a previously neutral stimulus.}` It is an acquired response which is under the control of the previous stimulus. It is also known as acquired reflex.

In the context, the cat Lilo's behavior is an example of the conditioned response where Lilo immediately jumps into the lap of Sophia as soon as Sophia switches on the TV. This is a learned condition of a previous stimulus as before when Sophia turns on the TV, she calls her cat to snuggle with her on her lap.
