“Listening comprehension” involves inferring.
“When we listen, we need to grasp information as we hear it; we can’t often have the information repeated. We don’t usually have visual aids, but we can infer a speaker’s meaning from the spoken words, the way they are spoken, and nonverbal factors (e.g., posture, intonation, speed, volume, facial expression).”
