This is called trench warfare!
The name comes from the trenches, that is the ditches that the soldiers built.
This warfare was typical in the First World War and it led to frequent stalemates: the trenches are easy to defend but hard to attack so for long periods of times the front remained stable.
Developed by Hobson and McCarley in 1977, such hypotheses
were made from this theory and the major criticism of this is theory is that dream
content is more coherent, consistent over time, and concerned with waking
problems and anxieties than the activation-synthesis theory would predict.
Answer: All listeners hear the same thing.
Explanation: Although Alex and Jeff were present at the meeting, Jeff seemed not to be certain whether their boss made mention that they should expect layoffs.
Listening is the process of making sense of others' spoken messages. i.e hang on to every word by constructing meaning to what you hear. Obviously in this case, Jeff was giving a different meaning to what he heard the boss say.
This debunks the myth that every one listening hears the same thing .
