Intuitively it feels different but I am not able to explain it
In: Biology
Reflex is about the speed at which you react, the speed at with your senses send signal to your brain, your brain to interpret it and make a decision and act. Example, someone shoot a ball at your face, if you have bad reflex you gonna get hit in the face, if you have good reflex you gonna get out of the way.
Instinct is about how your brain learn to interpret his surrendering automatically, based on your life experience and some of it is probably genetic. For example, it’s dark and you are alone in an alley, your brain recognise this situation as dangerous, you have limited view and all the movies you saw say that you gonna get attack in this situation, so your instinct kick in you are more alert, even if there is no evidence that you are indeed in danger, you still feel in danger.
