Locating individual responses in time with reference to other events is reflected by the dimensional quantity of
A) duration
B) frequency
C) latency
D) topography

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Latency refers to the time between the occurrence of a stimulus and the resulting response. It is a measure of how quickly the individual responds to a stimulus and allows for the precise timing of events in research. Duration refers to the length of time that a response or stimulus lasts. Frequency refers to how often an event or behavior occurs. Topography refers to the physical characteristics of a response, such as its shape or form. While all of these dimensions may be important for understanding behavior, only latency specifically refers to the timing of events.
