Tomas and Eric have both developed a habit of walking over to each other's offices when they want to take a break from their work
However these breaks have increasingly gotten longer and louder because they enjoy talking to each other. Recently both Tomas and Eric have had to take more and more work home to finish plus getting the "evil eye" stare from the boss several times.

By doing this, Tomas and Eric have removed the reinforcement for "hanging out" at the office and also increased their productivity during working hours.
This strategy for breaking bad habits is known as
a. modeling.
b. extinction.
