Moving towards desired food - might that not qualify as a primitive instinct? > I really wonder, are patients motivated by 'walking over to the > lunch table' or is walking itself the motivation. Different patients - different answers - and I guess you may have a patient in mind that is able to call you and say: "Ron, I'd really like some OT so that I can....." While on my mind are e.g. severely brain injured patients that I've "shared" with PT's over time. (But then - even a well articulated patient may not be able to "find" a specific movement untill they know exactly what to reach for and experience the desire to hold that object in their hand.) Maybe we're comparing apples with pears here - longer time goals with here-and-now incitaments. Anyway - I don't know a lot about movement science. I mostly wanted to contribute a guess at what might be going on in some of those situations when OT and PT may seem alike from the outside - and to encourage your original poster to look deeper into it...
