Through the process of decoding, interpreting, understanding and evaluating messages.
Listening is an active and intellectual process because it involves not only hearing the words being spoken but also understanding and interpreting their meaning, context, and implications. Active listening requires focus, attention, and engagement to fully comprehend the message being communicated and respond appropriately. It also involves critical thinking, analysis, and empathy to grasp the speaker's perspective and enhance communication.
Listening involves actively processing and interpreting the sounds we hear to understand their meaning, while hearing is simply the passive act of perceiving sound. Listening requires attention, focus, and cognitive effort to comprehend and respond to the information being conveyed, making it a more complex neurocognitive process compared to hearing, which is an automatic function of the auditory system.
The give and take that is associated with listening, thinking about the information, and responding to the words is what makes communication interactive. Also, the process requires at least two people.
