Instinctive \In*stinc"tive\, a. [Cf. F. instinctif.]
   Of or pertaining to instinct; derived from, or prompted by,
   instinct; of the nature of instinct; determined by natural
   impulse or propensity; acting or produced without reasoning,
   deliberation, instruction, or experience; spontaneous.
   ``Instinctive motion.'' --Milton. ``Instinctive dread.''
   --Cowper.

         some absent friends?                     --Bp. Hall.

   Note: The terms instinctive belief, instinctive judgment,
         instinctive cognition, are expressions not ill adapted
         to characterize a belief, judgment, or cognition,
         which, as the result of no anterior consciousness, is,
         like the products of animal instinct, the intelligent
         effect of (as far as we are concerned) an unknown
         cause. --Sir H. Hamilton.

   Syn: Natural; voluntary; spontaneous; original; innate;
        inherent; automatic.
