Answer 1

Answer: conditioned

Bobby touches his newborn brother's palm, and his little brother takes hold of Bobby's finger and will not let go. This is known as the conditioned reflex.

Explanation:

A conditioned reflex is a response or behaviour learned after birth. So, once the newborn acquires this learned response, they can perform them even without thinking about it.

Thus, Bobby's brother (the newborn) holding on to his finger and not letting go shows that it is a conditioned reflex
