antecedent is a preceding event or a cause - in this case it is the event that causes the learned behavior to happen.

Learned behavior and conditioning

A learned behavior is created by practice or experiences, instead of coming from instincts. Learned behavior can be controlled by the reflective or reflexive systems, which in turn create cognitive learning and habitual learning. Cognitive learning is influenced directly by the environment and evaluates it in order to acquire a particular behavior.
