conditioned response

 [kun-dish´und]
a response that does not occur naturally in the animal but that may be developed by regular association of some physiologic function with an unrelated outside event, such as ringing of a bell or flashing of a light. Soon the physiological function starts whenever the outside event occurs. Called also conditioned reflex. See also conditioning.

Cerebellar Theta-Burst Stimulation Impairs Memory Consolidation in Eyeblink Classical Conditioning
In novel situations, some degree of agency is demanded because individuals must do something 'different' in circumstances for which they have no conditioned response. In patterned situations, however, I surmised that individuals have little to no capacity for agency without at least some degree of reflexivity.
