Matthew is experiencing "mental distractions".

Mental distraction is a method that has been utilized successfully for various physical and psychological wellness issues. We frequently tell individuals in the throes of outrage to tally to 10 or expel themselves from the circumstance before accomplishing something rash.

The correct answer is mental distractions.

Mental distraction is a type of listening barrier wherein an individual does not listen to a speaker/ speakers because the listener's mind has wandered to another topic. In this instance, Matthew is not listening to his instructor's lesson because he is mentally distracted with thoughts about his upcoming vacation. Another instance of a listening barrier due to mental distraction is thinking about your children or household chores while you are in a work meeting.
