Question

On his way to class, Isaac overheard his professor in the hallway discussing those "radical Bible thumpers" with a fellow professor. Isaac felt a personal sting and just couldn't get the sound of that phrase out of his mind. Later, while in the professor's class, he found that he was taking poor notes and really didn't understand the lecture for that day. Which of the following best describes the cause of Isaac's failure to listen in class?
a. Self-focus
b. Emotional noise
c. Information overload
d. Environmental noise

Answer 1

Answer:

b. Emotional noise

Explanation:

According to my research on studies conducted by various psychologists, I can say that based on the information provided within the question the cause of this is best described by Emotional Noise. Psychologists describe Emotional reactions as noise which you can hear and repeats in your head. Which is what Isaac is experiencing since what his professor said caused a negative emotional reaction, which he kept hearing in his head.
