What is another name for pseudo listening?

There isn't one universally accepted, formal term for "pseudo listening" that's widely used. However, here are some terms that capture the same idea:

General terms:

* Non-listening

* Passive listening (although this can sometimes have a different meaning, implying genuine but not active engagement)

* Inattentive listening

* Pretend listening

* Superficial listening

* Half-hearted listening

* Fake listening

* Absent-minded listening

More specific terms:

* Stage-hogging (when someone only listens to respond, not to understand)

* Selective listening (when someone only pays attention to certain parts of the conversation)

* Monopolizing (when someone dominates the conversation and doesn't give others a chance to speak)

The best term to use will depend on the specific context and the specific type of pseudo listening you are trying to describe.
