Recalling the story that your significant other told you represents the recalling stage in the listening process.
Listening Process Stages
The listening process generally includes these stages:
- Receiving: Hearing or physically perceiving the message.
- Understanding/Interpreting: Grasping the meaning of the message.
- Recalling/Remembering: Retaining and being able to bring the information back to mind.
- Evaluating: Judging the message's content or credibility.
- Responding/Feedback: Providing verbal or nonverbal feedback to the speaker.
Recalling is the ability to remember information, such as a story told by a significant other, and is essential for meaningful communication and relationship development. This stage involves actively retrieving stored information from memory which impacts how well one can follow up, engage, and respond appropriately in conversations.
