It's just another way of saying 'conditioned response'.
If, every time you try to do 'something' you get an unpleasant response, after a while you will quite trying to do that thing. Not doing something is an 'inhibition' and, it this case, it's been 'conditioned' be a cause and effect stimulus.

It's what parents do to their kids. They warn their kids about all the 'bad' people out there and thereby inhibit their natural instinct of trying to make friends.
To my way of thinking the protection given is worse than the evil it is supposed to protect against.
They now carry an inability to get close to people all of their lives. I did NOT do that to my daughter and she is a loving open person.
The chances of anything bad happening to any given kid, is very small. Think of how many people we have in this country, and how very few kid ever get into any danger. It only seems a lot because every instance is reported because of our excellent communication.
I look at this like an immunization for a disease that kills maybe 10 or 20 children a year out of 300,000,000 people, yet for this minor chance we inject them with a some horrible counter thing that will affect them negatively all of their life. Most people never shake it, just as most people get stuck with the religious crap put into them by their parents for life. What a waste!

Conditioned inhibition is an internal state that prevents an organism from making some response, like salivation.

Basically, it's a learned avoidance behavior -- you've learned not to do something, usually as a result of a negative stimulus (e.g. You once chewed with your mouth open, until your dad smacked you upside the head enough times for you to avoid the behavior in order to avoid the punishment) Same thing goes for training animals -- you shout "No!" at them for doing something wrong enough times, and hopefully they learn that the behavior is wrong and try not to do it any more. You can also reinforce the opposite behavior by rewarding the correct response as well as punishing the wrong one.

it all depends where you live...if you live in a big city, the trends seems to be more expensive and if you live in a small country town, it's more basic and plain
