How does the brain’s ability to process language faster than people can speak present a challenge to effective listening?

a. The mind has a lot of excess processing capacity while listening, and if that capacity isn’t kept focused on listening, the mind will wander off to other topics.

b. The mind is typically so focused on listening that maintaining respectful eye contact is difficult.

c. Listeners typically use their extra brain power to take notes, which is a sure sign of a poor listener.

d. To listen well, people must engage in meditative practices while listening in order to keep their minds calm and focused.
