We are so ingrained to push that many in my class, including myself, found it very difficult to hold the aircraft in the shaker and let the engines take care of the airspeed during a stall recovery in the ERJ.
Stall recovery is one of the most automatic procedures in all of flying.
Between regular reinforcement to pull back during recurrent sim and regular pusher override tests, I think we could easily develop a spring-loaded response to do the wrong thing here.
I agree that a pilot SHOULD respond to a stall with nose-down inputs, but I suspect that in this case stall and pusher have become separate events as far as muscle-memory goes.
I suspect that for many of us, stall is something that happens in a 172.
You might need to make a conscious decision to override your natural shaker/pusher instinct and go into true stall recovery techniques.
