Three Types of Listening

Causal Listening
This is basically listening to a sound to try and figure out what exactly is creating the noise. For example, if one was instructed to turn is head and an individual shook keys, guessing the knows would be considered causal listening. Also if tapping on a container if full would describe the type of noise being made. If the container is empty a different sound would be made.
                             

In my previous post Causal the most usual type of listening could be used because the sound being made isn't specific but it is evident that it's coming from some sort of string.

Semantic Listening
This is sounds that come in code such as sign African dialect, English, and also Morse and other types of code. This is very complex and confusing way of listening, and it has been the main topic of linguistics (science of language).


Reduced Listening
This type of listening refers to the sound within the sound. Instead of focusing on the complex noises of sounds/music/noise and such reduced listening allows individuals to break down noises and be able to listen to them in separate parts.
