Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
because we're used to nodding our heads to say yes and shaking them to say no!. you're brain registers it as a contradiction and you have to conciously ignore that fact and shake your head and say yes or the other way round!. but that takes a moment, hense, the pause!. but it's still pretty fast!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It could be a case where the person answering the question is no confident about his/her answer!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
