Question

Jon left his house this morning without a sweatshirt. He cannot focus on his friend’s presentation because he can’t stop thinking about how cold he is. This is an example of:_____________.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is:

Physiological Noise

Explanation:

Physiological Noise is the process that interrupts the appropriate communication process due to a physiological need. In this specific case, it is possible to notice how Jon stops paying attention to the words said from the people around, because he has the physiological need to warm up his body in the absence of his sweatshirt. At that moment the person can only focus on fulfilling his physiological need first, and that is why they lose the capacity for concentrating in any other activity that requires attention.
