Reaction Timing Pull-Up

specific editing technique, often using a split screen or an intra-shot speed ramp, to make a character's reaction occur sooner than it did in the original footage. This is commonly used in comedy to land a reaction closer to a joke, or in drama to tighten the cause-and-effect relationship between an action and a reaction within a single shot.
