Limbic response, during stress your body goes to one of three (or four) immediate responses. Typically you hear fight or flight, it is commonplace to add “freeze” as a third instinctual response. Some psychological studies include a fourth “f-word” which is “fornicate”, this is accurate in a limbic system which covers all involuntary actions but fight or flight usually refers to defense mechanisms.
Joe Navarro covers all of this in great detail in his book “What Every BODY is Saying”
There are two basic responses that we are familiar with: FIGHT and FLIGHT. When faced with some challenge or obstacle, we can either engage with it in the hopes of a victory or run away.
For something like a cake, obviously it won’t put up much of a fight… so before the person realizes a decision was made, they “fight” the cake.
For something like a bear, that can tear you from limb to limb before you know what’s happening…the brain recognizes the threat and pushes the person to “take flight”/run away.

Obviously there’s a lot of different things between a normal slice of cake and a wild bear. And obviously some of these things require the “Reaction” part of the brain to “think” a little more on what is the “right” response…ergo “Freeze”.
