The scenario described fits Pavlov's procedure for conditioned inhibition, as the yellow banner is acting as a signal that Sam's Diner is closed and therefore inhibiting the conditioned response (eating breakfast) that was previously associated with the location. The yellow banner is functioning as a negative CS in this case, which is inhibiting the previously established CS-US contingency.
