![]() Through the process of comparing new information with old information, we may also update or revise particular schemata if we find the new information relevant and credible. When we understand something, we are able to attach meaning by connecting information to previous experiences. It is through the interpreting stage that we may begin to understand the stimuli we have received. The interpreting stage engages cognitive and relational processing as we take in informational, contextual, and relational cues and try to connect them in meaningful ways to previous experiences. ![]() We can enhance our ability to receive, and in turn listen, by trying to minimize noise.ĭuring the interpreting stage of listening, we combine the visual and auditory information we receive and try to make meaning out of that information using schemata. Psychological noise like stress and anger interfere primarily with the cognitive processes of listening. Environmental noise such as other people talking, the sounds of traffic, and music interfere with the physiological aspects of hearing. While hearing leads to listening, they are not the same thing. Some noise interferes primarily with hearing, which is the physical process of receiving stimuli through internal and external components of the ears and eyes, and some interferes with listening, which is the cognitive process of processing the stimuli taken in during hearing. It is important to consider noise as a factor that influences how we receive messages. Think about how it’s much easier to listen to a lecture on a subject that you find very interesting. Recall that salience is the degree to which something attracts our attention in a particular context and that we tend to find salient things that are visually or audibly stimulating and things that meet our needs or interests. Some stimuli never make it in, some are filtered into subconsciousness, and others are filtered into various levels of consciousness based on their salience. These perceptual filters also play a role in listening. Our chapter on perception discusses some of the ways in which incoming stimuli are filtered. zip file containing this book to use offline, simply click here. ![]() You can browse or download additional books there.
