Question

Selective Listening Exercise: You will need to complete this exercise with another person. Create a list of like items (e.g., a list of fruits). This list needs to be at least 15 words long (the longer the better). In this list, you will repeat certain words. For example: Banana, Orange, Apple, Peach, Banana, Figs, Pear, Plums, Figs, Berries, Melons, Figs, Cherries, Limes, Pear, Tangerine, Lemon, Pear. Give the other person 30 seconds to write down as many of the words as possible. What were the results? What conclusions about listening can you draw from this exercise?

Answer 1

Answer:

In the description.

Explanation:

For this exercise, I selected the following list of school subjects:

Math, languages, physics, biology, philosophy, mathematics, Spanish, philosophy, geography, literature, technology, biology, calculus, ethics, electronics, philosophy, literature.

The person with whom I did this exercise wrote the following subjects: mathematics, physics, calculus, electronics, biology, technology.

From this exercise and with respect to selective listening, we can then conclude that the subjects that the other person is able to retain and write quickly (during the first 30 seconds) are those that directly interest him or draw his  attention, leaving aside those that are not very attractive to his taste.
