I call them isometric seated cable rows, but it may not exactly be the correct term. That's just what I call them.
The exercise I do is simply a seated cable row, but I hold each rep for an extended period of time while the muscle is contracted. When I do this, I squeeze the back of my shoulder blades together. Usually, I perform around 6-8 repetions, holding each rep for around 10 seconds.
Also, as Lisa said, I believe you are thinking of the word "Isolation".
