Answers. Best Answer: I would say instinct is a largely inheritable and unalterable tendency of an organism to make a complex and specific response to environmental stimuli without involving reason. And your reflex is an automatic response to a stimulus not involving higher mental centers.
Slow reaction times may come with consequences. Reaction time is a measure of the quickness an organism responds to some sort of stimulus. You also have âreflexesâ too. Reflexes and reactions, while seeming similar, are quite different. Reflexes are involuntary, used to protect the body, and are faster than a reaction. Reflexes are usually a negative feedback loop and act to help return the body to its normal functioning stability, or homeostasis. The classic example of a reflex is one you have seen at your doctorâs office: the patellar reflex.
