Answer:

Extinction

Step-by-step explanation:

Extinction:

Extinction in psychology, is a behavioral phenomenon which refers to the gradual weakening or fading of a conditioned response which results in the decrease or disappearing of the behaviour. Therefore the continuous driving past the whataburger restaurant without stopping results in the gradual decrease in salivating, by so doing, the response eventually stops and become extinct.
