How does a higher heat capacity affect the amount of time it takes for an object’s temperature to change?

An object with a high specific heat would change temperature more slowly than one with low specific heat. Water, for example has a very high specific heat so it requires a lot of energy to heat it up. It also takes a while for water to cool down because it holds that heat for a long time. <3
