Conditioning is a kind of training that gets into the body and the habits. People or animals learn to behave in a particular way when particular things happen, because that pairing has happened again and again. The famous picture is a dog that starts to drool when it hears a bell, because the bell always came with food. Psychologists call that classical conditioning. There is also conditioning by reward and punishment: do this, get a treat; do that, get a .
People use it more loosely too. “I’ve been conditioned to check my phone” means life has trained you, whether anyone sat down and meant to or not. The word can sound a bit scientific or textbook, which is why you meet it in psychology class and then hear it stretch in ordinary talk.
The process can be gentle or harsh; the point is that the response starts to come almost by itself.
