ambushing

While listening to the lecture, Carlos begins to think about the things he needs to do after class, but stops himself and consciously focuses himself on the information being presented in the lecture and takes in as much as he can. This is an example of

being mindful

As after taking cooking lessons, Thelma bakes a cake for her friend Louise's birthday. When Louise sees the cake, she says, "Wow, that's so sweet. My mom always made a special cake for my birthday, and she would decorate it so elaborately." Thelma replies, "Well I'm sorry that I didn't decorate the cake extravagantly. I guess I still have a lot to learn about cooking." Thelma's response illustrates

defensive listening

Chelsea does not enjoy the speaker's topic, but her goal is to gather and evaluate the information being presented so she can write a report on the presentation. This is an example of

A mnemonic Is

memory aid

Randy says "I am really bummed out about not getting any job offers." His roommate Lance responds, "Sounds as if you're feeling pretty low about the response so far." Lance's communication is an example of

selective listening

While visiting her parents on a break from school, Deena doesn't pay attention to much of what they say. She lets much of their communication just go in one ear and out the other without her ever listening. However, when her mother mentions going shopping to get some new clothes and good novels for Deena to take back to school, Deena listens attentively. This is an example of
