Instincts. You can't even STOP yourself from doing them, because they happen before the signal gets all the way to the brain.

Learned responses and Negative feed-back loops.
If you don't put your hands up, you get smacked, and you quickly learn from Pain Response.
so yes TFS, auto-motor responses.
It hurts when I do "this"- then you stop doing "this"
I would attribute instinct more to Bio-chemical responses/reaction.
ie, the pheremone match response.

Good job guys!
