Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Penny is measuring Cathy's reaction time, which is the time it takes for someone to respond to a sensory stimulus. This is not an example of classical conditioning (A) because there is no association being formed between two stimuli, nor is it an example of introspection (B) because Penny is not trying to understand her own mental processes, but rather measuring her sister's reaction time. Stimulus time (D) is not a recognized concept in psychology.
