    Study Notes

    Osgood-Schramm Model

    • Defines communication as a circular, continuous process involving both sender and receiver.
    • Visualized as Encoder/Decoder ↔ Message ↔ Decoder/Encoder.
    • Advantages include highlighting the importance of feedback and interactivity in communication.
    • Disadvantage is a lack of clarity in depicting external noise influencing the process.
    • Example illustrates two friends texting, demonstrating mutual sending and receiving of messages.

    Westley & Maclean Model

    • Incorporates the concept of feedback and allows for communication involving multiple sources.
    • Diagram begins with an event leading to a sender and includes a feedback loop.
    • Advantages emphasize the dynamic nature of communication through multiple interactions.
    • Disadvantage lies in its complexity, making it harder to grasp.
    • Example involves a news reporter who collects information from various sources and conveys it to the public, integrating feedback.

    Transactional Model

    • Communication is conceptualized as an ongoing process where both parties share messages simultaneously.
    • Depicted through a continuous exchange of messages, highlighting real-time interaction.
    • Advantages include illustrating mutual influence between communicators.
    • Disadvantage is its difficulty in visualization, making it less intuitive.
    • Example features a face-to-face conversation where participants both talk and listen at the same time.

    Dance Helical Model

    • Represents communication as a spiral that evolves and develops over time.
    • Diagram portrays a spiral to indicate growth and progression in communication.
    • Advantages include depicting communication as a developmental process, reflecting gradual improvement.
    • Disadvantage is its complexity, potentially challenging for beginners to comprehend.
    • Example tracks a child's journey in learning to talk, highlighting the enhancement of communication skills over time.
