The amount of time it takes until an individual initiates a response after
the presentation of a particular stimulus is called the:
A. duration of a response
B. frequency of a response
C. latency of a response
D. time-sampling of a response - Correct Answer -C. latency of a
response
The amount of time that a particular behavior lasts or continues on a
particular instance is called the:
A. response
B. latency of a response
C. duration of a response
D. timing of a response - Correct Answer -C. duration of a response
When an observation period is divided into equal segments of relatively
short duration and the occurrence or nonoccurrence of a specific
behavior is recorded a maximum of once per segment, we say that a (n)
__________ recording system is in effect.
