There has been a great deal of
research on memory.
Remembering is essential when
you intend to apply what you have
heard in future situations.

Take into account the total communication
context so that you are better able to
understand the meaning of what is said
from the speaker’s point of view.

and are influenced by your
perceptual filters- your past
experiences, attitude, personal values
and predispositions.

Your partner makes judgements regarding
the quality of your listening based largely
on the nature of your response.
