encounter when delivering or listening to a public oral presentation.

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

Answers will vary, but should name the three types with appropriate examples:
Physical interferences come from the environment including temperature of the room,
air movement, noises, or smells. Psychological interference has to do with the emotional
state of the communicators.  Fear or anger, for example, can distract both senders and
receivers from the important job at hand.  This type of interference is often considered
the most difficult because it is self-generated. Physiological interferences come from
both receivers and senders.  On the part of the senders, they may include any speech
behaviors that make them difficult to listen to, such as heavy accents, too rapid or
halting speech, excessive throat clearing or coughing, stutters, etc. The receivers would
experience physiological interference from feeling unwell or uncomfortable, impeding
their ability to concentrate on the speaker?s message.
