 You are at an office party, a holiday party, or a gathering of friends at the home of a neighbor and you are engaged in convers

ation with a friend in a discussion. More people are talking behind you, but you are not paying attention to their conversation. Suddenly, you hear your name mentioned by one of the individuals engaged in the conversation behind you. You become unable to concentrate on the discussion, because you are too busy trying to hear what the other people are saying about you. You know you were not deliberately eavesdropping on this conversation, but you know that you heard your name. Is it possible that you were unconsciously eavesdropping?

The correct answer is; Yes, you can be unconsciously eavesdropping.

Further Explanation:

When this occurs it is called the “The Cocktail Party Phenomenon.” Your mind can focus on one conversation that is being made and drown out all other speech and things going on around you. This makes your brain have auditory attention on one specific conversation.

The sensory hearing in the person listening to the conversation is subconsciously filtering the conversation into its own stream in the brain. This phenomenon can also detect certain words that are important to the person with a large amount of noise in the background.

This occurs in the left hemisphere of the brain in the superior temporal gyrus region.

stealth61 [152]
<span>The answer is C. temperature, light level, species of bacteria. All three variables are considerations regarding the reproduction rate of the bacteria. The other three answer choices can be eliminated easily because they each contain at least one irrelevant variable. In particular, all three contain a variable that makes reference to Jack's personal characteristics. These do not have any impact on the experiment and readily stand out to disqualify the entire answer choice.</span>
