When Mandy cries, do not let her escape her chore. Use physical guidance if necessary so that she does the chore

Explanation:

Extinction: In psychology, the term "extinction" is determined as a phenomenon that includes a moderate weakening of a specific conditioned response that leads to disappear or decrease in an organism's (human beings or animals) behavior. In the extinction process, a particular behavior that is being conditioned eventually stops and therefore the response because of that behavior extinct.
