instantaneous
The dictionary says:
1. Happening or arising without apparent external cause
2.Said or done without having been planned or written in advance
Soething that is done or happens instantaneously without much predetermined effort or scheme in mind, i guess would be something that you could understand really well.

Doing something with out hesitating. Like a friend says hey I'm heading to the river, want to come, and a spontaneous person would say yes, and hop in the car and go with out thinking about what he needed, let's say a bathing suit, sun tan lotion, sunglasses, ect. Not that you really need these things, in this example, but just so you kind of get the idea. Just someone who is ready to go without hesitating, and not thinking it through.

Proceeding without plan or premeditation, e.g in spontaneous combustion, a fire starts without being set or spontaneous applause may start during a speech.
