Biff is 6'3" tall, and the first few times he enters or exits a commuter airplane, he bangs his head on the ceiling. Biff now crouches when entering or exiting a commuter airplane, attesting to the usefulness of classical conditioning.

Classical Conditioning

A learning process that occurs when two stimuli are repeatedly paired; a response that is at first elicited by the second stimulus is eventually elicited by the first stimulus alone.

  • Explain the foundational concepts of classical and operant conditioning within the context of learning.

Final Answer :
True
Explanation :
Biff has learned to associate the experience of hitting his head with entering or exiting the airplane, and has therefore modified his behavior to avoid that negative experience by crouching. This is an example of classical conditioning, where a stimulus (entering/exiting the airplane) becomes associated with a response (hitting his head) and leads to a change in behavior (crouching).
