Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The discrepancy between the ability to receive words and the speed with which they arrive can cause a listener to have time to daydream or tune in and out of the message. This occurs when the listener's ability to process words exceeds the speaker's ability to deliver them, causing the listener to have extra time to engage in other mental activities.
