the delayed group showed more conditioned responding

Explanation:

Conditioned response: given by Ivan Pavlov.

The conditioned response in classical conditioning is defined as the scholarly or learned response to a stimulus that is previously neutral will elicit a response and hence, this response is considered to be the conditioned response.

In the given question, the trails that were delayed for one week showed more conditioning response because just after the conditioning the chances of extinction are perceived to be high and vice-versa.
