Question

Which listening barrier is interrupting effective communication in the example below? Garth was telling Monica about his weekend. Monica spent most of the time looking at her cell phone and saying uh huh

Answer 1

The correct answer is pseudo=listening. Monica pretends to listen what Garth is saying but she is not paying attention, instead on interacting with Garth she is only sayin "uh  huh". In this case Monica is focused on her cell phone which avoids to have an effective communication between her and Garth.
