responsivity

Ability to react

Responsivity is the quality of being responsive—the capacity to react or answer to stimuli, signals, or needs.

The term appears most often in technical contexts: a sensor's responsivity measures how strongly it responds to input, while in psychology, emotional responsivity describes how readily someone reacts to feelings.

The detector's responsivity decreases at higher frequencies.
