Explanation:

● Reflex actions are actions done with any predetermined or prior thought about them. They are those actions that are not within the control of ones will. Reflex actions are those actions that one cannot exercise any single form of control over. Reflex actions are controlled by the spinal cord, not by the brain.

● A conditional reflex action is a type of reflex actions that is learned over time and have become part of the body. In other words, conditioned reflex actions are those actions that we learn how to do them, and have gotten accustomed to them to the extent that we can now do them without thinking of them. That is, we have conditioned our body to such actions.
