Correct answer: C. the brain activity that follows exposure to a stimulus

  • A. the number of mistakes a person makes
  • B. the amount of time a person needs to clap their hands when instructed
  • C. the brain activity that follows exposure to a stimulus
  • D. how quickly a person can blink their eyes after being told to do so

Explanation

Speed of processing can be assessed through the brain activity occurring after a stimulus, such as event-related potentials, which indicate how rapidly the nervous system handles information. Blinking or clapping also involve motor speed and are less direct measures of cognitive processing speed.
