responses

Reactions to stimuli

Responses are replies or reactions to something.

A question prompts a response, as does a stimulus, survey, or emergency.

The word implies something preceding it—you respond *to* something: Her response to criticism was silence.

In biology, a response is how an organism reacts to environmental changes.

Response time measures how quickly someone or something reacts.
