List and explain the five stages of listening

What will be an ideal response?


1. Selecting: We choose what sensory data to pay attention to from the multitude that we are bombarded with. Two factors may help us select the data: (a) auditory discrimination, which refers to our ability to distinguish one sound from another; and (b) auditory association, in which we try to establish connections between new incoming sounds and ones with which we are already familiar.
2. Attending: Once we've selected the sound, we give it further attention; we hone in on it.
3. Understanding: We make sense of what the sounds we're paying attention to. This is where complications may occur, because there is significant room for multiple interpretations for most messages.
4. Responding: We give a reaction or feedback to the message, either verbally, nonverbally, or both.
5. Remembering: The ultimate goal of listening is to be able to retain the information so that we can recall it at a later point in time.
