Morphology
The phrase is fully compositional: 'response' means a reaction and 'time' means a duration, so 'response time' straightforwardly denotes the duration between a stimulus and the reaction. This noun‑noun combination follows regular English compounding patterns and is cross‑linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer the meaning.
Etymology
Response time combines response, a reaction, and time, how long something takes. Imagine a runner hearing the starting gun and counting the seconds until they move; those seconds are the response time, so the phrase means 'the time between a signal and a reaction'.
