    Because in the later scenario of pushing a person "the participants used the emotional part of the brain to refuse to push".

    The process or act of pushing an individual is far more personal than simply handling a switch, flipping it to do the act. The act of pushing actually activates the emotional parts of the brain which affects our moral decisions.
