The correct answer for the exercise: Lenore has a fight with her best friend, samantha, and doesn't want to speak to her. she unfriends her on social media. by doing this, lenore is using _________, thereby removing consequences from an undesirable behavior. Is: Extinction.

Extinction is the term used in conditioning to the action of manipulation of all variables, conditions or context to avoid the presentation of certain unwanted behavior.
