Document Summary
Being heard is one thing, but speakers need listeners to complete the communication loop. Appreciative listening - listening for entertainment or pleasure purposes. Auditory association - mind sorts the perceived sound into a category so that heard information is recognized (new stimuli is differentiated by comparing and contrasting with previously heard sounds) Communication loop - traditional communication model that has both sender and receiver sharing responsibility for communicating a message, listening, and offering feedback (effectiveness of the communication depends on the two sharing a similar interpretation of the message and feedback) Constructive feedback - focuses on specific, applicable, immediate, andto help the speaker improve. Critical listening - listening, aiming to gain information with which we will evaluate a speaker, or the product or proposal the speaker is endorsing. Deaf spots - the preconceived notions or beliefs a listener might hold dear that can interfere with listening effectively (these are barriers to having an open mind to receive the sender"s message)
