The ability to pay attention to one message and ignore others, yet hear distinctive features of the unattended messages.
Explanation:
In psychology, the term cocktail party effect refers to the phenomenon by which <u>the brain can focus its attention on a particular stimulus while filtering out the other stimuli that are not relevant to it.</u> This phenomenon happens especially at places where there's a lot of noise where the listener is able to focus his/her attention in one particular stimulus. However,<u> if there is a distinctive stimulus (like someone saying your name) you can hear this part of the message</u> even if your attention is focused somewhere else.

Listeners can become lost
Explanation:
Informative speakers need to judge their audience before they speak. They need to know some facts about their listeners, where do they come from, from which background socially and ethnically, and they may want to know something about their religion or interests. This way they can judge the level of the audience's knowledge about the subject they will speak upon.
If the informative speakers overestimate the listeners' knowledge on a particular subjects, the listeners will become frustrated because they won't understand what the speakers are telling them. They may consider themselves to stupid or not knowledgeable enough to listen to this speech. After trying to understand, they give up in the end and <em>can become lost</em>, not understanding the speaker and the topic he speaks upon.
