Guidelines for Effective Selective Listening
Abstract
This report presents a summary of an extensive literature survey designed to identify the problems involved in selective listening and to recommend procedures for handling them. Selective listening is intended, primarily, as an intelligence gathering technique. It involves focusing attention on oral messages of possible intelligence value. This report dealt with one important application of the technique, namely, overhearing the conversations of others. The problems considered include moving within earshot of these conversations, picking up and storing their information, and recounting their contents. Procedures for overcoming these problems appear with supporting experimental evidence.
