True
False

Answer 1

Are you sure that's the full question?

Answer 2

Yes

Answer 3

Hm. It just seems to me that that is a definition so there has to be some word that definition is matched with...

Answer 4

I'm learning about public speaking and listening right now. If that helps.

Answer 5

I think its true.
Because the hot room might make the person sweat/focus on the hotness.
So I think it would count as a distraction.

Answer 6

But what exactly is an inner distraction? I don't recall learning this in my classes, lol

Answer 7

That was my thought to, but then I realized it said inner distraction. So, I couldn't decide if it was true or false.

Answer 10

Answer 12

Inner distractions: Inner distractions are even more numerous. Physical exhaustion may make an otherwise fruitful discussion the background music for sleep. Worry about a family problem may be so intense that anything else, including the classroom activity, becomes irrelevant. A disturbance before school or during the break can upset a student so that he has little thought of anything else. Anxiety about a test in another class can drain the mental energy that should be directed to the subject under discussion. Possibly the most habitual of all internal distractions is the tendency to appear to be listening when, in fact, a person is thinking of what he is going to say when the other person stops talking.

Answer 13

Outer distractions: Outer distractions are numerous and varied. Loud music or noise from another classroom distracts the student's attention from the business at hand. A blackboard displaying facts from a different class may lure a student's thought to other fields. A room that is either too cold or too hot makes the physical discomfort predominate, and the effort required by listening will not be exerted. An uncomfortable chair can lessen alertness. A fidgety person sitting next to a student can distract his attention. A teacher or a student may mention a subject that causes internalized distraction of interest, wishful thinking, or violent rejection. Insects, wasps, ants, flies, or mosquitoes can capture attention, making good listening impossible.

Answer 14

Since it lists "physical exhaustion", can't being over-heated or really sweaty make you physically exhausted?

Aah Outer distractions goes with that Too cold or hot...
