riders call it survival reactions, i call it instinctive fear when instructing different skills.
it similar to flinching while firing a gun, freezing right before you get tackled, braking while going wide, target fixation, etc.
it is this form of fear that causes people to make incorrect actions.
the difference between an SR and rational fear is control over your actions.
SRs are detrimental to a riders skill.
