The stage of attending is being reflected when the listener returns to hearing what the professor is saying. This stage is where the listener focuses and concentrates on the sounds they are hearing. In this scenario, the listener is distracted by the conversation behind them but then returns their attention to the lecture, indicating that they have shifted back to the stage of attending.
