Selective Listening

选择收听

A term derived from the notion of selective attention in psychology, and used in psycholinguistics to refer to the process whereby people are able to pick out certain aspects of a speech signal and to ignore others. The cocktail party phenomenon characterizes the problem - how a person is able to attend selectively to one out of several simultaneously occurring conversations.

源自心理学选择注意的概念，心理语言学用来指人能挑取言语信号的某些方面而置其他方面于不顾。鸡尾酒会现象最能说明问题—人能够在几个同时发生的会话中有选择地收听其中一个。
