The definition of "reflex" is an action that is not voluntary - ie, not mediated by cognition. From Wikipedia:

... sensory neurons do not pass directly into the brain, but synapse in the spinal cord. This characteristic allows reflex actions to occur relatively quickly by activating spinal motor neurons without the delay of routing signals through the brain ...

So asking if there are any mental or cognitive reflexes is like asking if there are any behaviours that go through the brain that don't go through the brain.

The common colloquial definition of "reflex" is an automatic or involuntary action, like the way an experienced tennis player reacts to the ball without thinking. In cognitive psychology, this is typically referred to as "unconscious" (rather than reflex). Some authors have compared conscious to unconscious using the iceberg metaphor, so if you go with this definition, then the number of mental reflexes far outweighs voluntary actions. The entire field of perception (just as a simple example) would be included.

There are 2 common definitions of "reflex":

The technical definition of "reflex" is an action that is not voluntary - ie, not mediated by cognition. From Wikipedia:

The colloquial definition of "reflex" is an automatic or involuntary action, like the way an experienced tennis player reacts to the ball without thinking. In cognitive psychology, this is typically referred to as "unconscious" (rather than reflex) action. Some authors have compared conscious to unconscious using the iceberg metaphor, so if you prefer the lay definition, then the number of mental reflexes far outweighs voluntary actions. The entire field of perception (just as a simple example) would be included.

So asking if there are any mental or cognitive reflexes is like asking if there are any non-reflex reflexes.

Perhaps you are more interested in other types of involuntary processes that do go through the brain, but that would be a different question, and I recommend being careful about the definition, because the entire field of "perception" (just as a simple example) could be considered "involuntary" processing depending on the definition used.
