n. 1. sounds a listener makes to encourage the speaker to continue speaking 2. verbal cues given to a speaker to indicate you are in agreement
While listening to someone speak, show you're actively listening by responding with verbal cues such as "uh-huh", "yes", "oh", "hmmm".
Audible feedback can also take the form of questions: "Then what happened?" "What did you do next?" "How did that make you feel?" "Are you kidding me?"
