The fact that a receiver can process information faster than a sender can affect attitudinal, sociocultural, physiological and environmental factors, all barriers to effective listening. For instance, if a sender has a speech impediment like a stammer, often receivers will in words aloud and finish sentences. Is this solely because of the speech impediment or also due to sociological considerations such as biases about race and gender? Attitudinal factors affected can also include offensive taken by the sender at the he is treated by receivers, while environmental concerns can create barriers to effective listening because of noise that makes it harder for this sender to speak.
