Answer:

It is called reaction or response time

Step-by-step explanation:

The response time or reaction time has to do with the amount of time that passes from when something is perceived until a response occurs as a consequence. It is the ability to detect, process and respond to any stimulus. It depends on several factors: perception, processing and response. If any of these factors is altered, the reaction time will be altered.
