Answer:

Letting one's mind to wonder until something personally relevant is said.

Step-by-step explanation:

Our brain cannot process all the sounds that is occurring in an environment, so only that which is most important is thoroughly processed.

Usually listening attention is directed at things people are most interested in hearing.

An example of selective listening is a student focusing on a teacher giving a lesson and ignoring the sounds of a rowdy classroom. Because the informations cannot be processed simultaneously only some sensory information chosen by the student gets through the brain and is processed.
