Temporal extent

A measure of the duration of time that a behavior occurs from onset (i.e., start) to offset (i.e., end).

Temporal locus

When measurement refers to the point in time that the behavior occurs (latency, interresponse time).

Latency

The measurable duration of time between the onset or appearance of a stimulus and the initiation of the response.

Interresponse time (IRT)

A measurable duration of time that elapses between two consecutive instances of a response.
