-Clear the named attribute from the state object. Fires a `"change"` event and a `"change:attributeName"` event unless `silent` is passed as an option.
+Clear the named attribute or an array of named attributes from the state object. Fires a `"change"` event and a `"change:attributeName"` event unless `silent` is passed as an option.
 
 If the attribute being unset is `required` and has a `default` value as defined in either `props` or `session`, it will be set to that value, otherwise it will be `undefined`.
 
 ```javascript
+// unset a single attribute
 person.unset('firstName')
 ```
 
+```javascript
+// unset multiple attributes
+person.unset(['firstName', 'lastName'])
+```
+
 ### clear `state.clear([options])`
 
 Clear all the attributes from the state object, by calling the `unset` function for each attribute, with the options provided.
