 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.

A runner starts at position zero and moves in one direction to position 12m 3. What is the distance traveled by the runner?
murzikaleks [220]

<u>Distance = 12 m</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Distance covered by the runner is same as the total path that he has ran. Here, a person starts at 0 position and goes in one direction to position 12 m. Since the initial point is 0 and the final position is 12, the total distance is calculated by adding the 2 points as: 0+12 = 12 m. So the distance covered and the displacement both are same which is 12 meters.

Distance traveled is the full length of the path covered between two points. It is not a vector and the direction is nil and no negative sign.  Example : The distance walked by the teacher is 3.0 m ,The distance walked by a passenger is 5.0 m. Also, the distance traveled need not be equal to the magnitude of the displacement which is the distance between the two positions.

How are emotional and intellectual health related
Tcecarenko [31]
A good way to think about mental and emotional health is like a tag team. Mental health refers to your ability to process information. Emotional health, on the other hand, refers to your ability to express feelings which are based upon the information you have processed.
