Final Answer :
False
Explanation :
Allport's principle of functional autonomy posits that some behaviors initially driven by basic drives or past experiences become independent and are no longer directly related to those drives or experiences. Reflexes, fixations, neuroses, and behaviors arising from biological drives are not considered to be explained by functional autonomy, as they are directly related to basic drives or past conditioning.
