The six forms of nonlistening include pseudo listening, monopolizing, selective listening, defensive listening, ambushing and literal listening. Psedolistening is one a person is pretending to listen. I find myself doing this a lot when i am in a class i do not enjoy. For example when i took introduction to hospitality. The lecture was so straight forward that it was easy for me to venture off and think of other things besides the lecture. Monopolizing is when someone is continuously shifting the conversation on themselves rather then listening to the other person. Selective listening is when you focus on some parts of the conversation. Defensive listening is when someone views something you said as an attack on them. Ambushing is listening carefully for the purpose of attacking a speaker. This is something that I try never to do. The last one literal listening is when someone is listening only for content and ignoring the relationship level of meaning. The method of nonlistening that i need to get over is psedolistening during class. I can get over this by actively taking notes, and participating in class.

Hey Lauren, after reading your response I have to agree that I also do the same thing in class. It is hard to give your undivided attention to one person for more than an hour. Your way of fixing the problem is right on. Taking notes can be really boring but it not only helps you remember what the teacher taught that day but it helps you focus on the lesson a lot better. If you were listening but not taking notes it is easy to drift away and think about other things, or probably even take out your cell phone and start texting. I wish you luck in fixing that problem.
