Exactly. The difference between a loaded turn and simply allowing the nose to
fall through with reduced back pressure.
Reducing back pressure is something an inexperienced pilot is instinctively
loath to do when manuvering close to the ground, much more likely to be pulling.

on the contrary I have a habit of deliberately pushing forward on the
yoke as I turn onto final, it comes from a fear of stalling and the
fact
that being at this stage of the landing procedure I want my attention
focused outside the cockpit to ensure I line up out of the turn on the
runway centerline, and not worrying about my airspeed.

You had good instruction Terry. I'd only add for you to monitor your
airspeed as well. In other words, never omit an available cue.
