pretend listening

When Ryan Mayle acts like he is listening but really he is focused on other things... Generally he just yups, and yeahs a person while they are speaking. Quite possibly and more than likely, he is thinking about the future Petty Officer Mayle or tater tots.

active listening

A way of showing that one is listening to a person who is talking to them by rewording what the other person just said and repeating it back to them. This is supposed to validate the person you are listening to and rephrasing, according to some schools of thought in psychology.
