Ex: your bf come back you give him a massage. Ex: a guy forgets valentine behavior= yelling, screaming, punching at the person. Negative desirable stimulus is removed in order to decrease target behavior. Ex: you refuse to talk to your boyfriend, you burn his clothes. Natural: not arbitrary, not artificial, automatically happens, no one else need to be involved. Ex: when you brush your teeth, you naturally feel clean. Ex: some one gives you a kiss, you feel good.
