Explain the difference between physical and physiological distractions

What will be an ideal response?


Physical distractions are listening interferences that come through your senses. A
strong smell, a glare, or the close proximity of a classmate's desk are all obstacles to effective
listening. Physiological distractions also have to do with the body, but are related to illness
and/or unusual physiological conditions. Earaches, being overtired, having the flu, all of these
physiological conditions have symptoms that hamper our ability to focus and listen.
