Study Notes
Interactive Communication Models
- Interactive models emphasize potential delays in feedback between sender and receiver during message exchange.
-
Osgood-Schramm Model:
- Portrays communication as equal and reciprocal, without clear distinctions between sender and receiver.
- Roles of encoding and decoding continuously interchange.
- Best suited for synchronous contexts where feedback is instant, such as face-to-face conversations.
- Facilitates noise reduction through ongoing message clarification.
Transactional Communication Models
-
Transactional models highlight the significance of immediate feedback and role exchanges between sender and receiver.
-
Barnlund's Transactional Model:
- Focuses on interpersonal communication with immediate feedback mechanisms.
- Central to this approach is the notion that feedback for the sender is the receiver's reply.
- Recognizes the importance of various cues in communication, including:
- Public cues (environmental factors)
- Private cues (personal thoughts and backgrounds)
- Behavioral cues (verbal or non-verbal actions)
- Comprises five fundamental components: communicators, encoding, message, channel, and decoding.
-
Dance's Helical Model:
- Based on circular communication models, emphasizing growth in message clarity over time.
- Feedback received influences subsequent messages, leading to improved knowledge and understanding.
- Represents communication as an expanding spiral, indicating that each interaction is unique and builds upon the previous one.
Pros of Interactive Communication Models
- Facilitates feedback opportunities even in mass communication scenarios.
- Enables exploration of new communication channels.
Cons of Interactive Communication Models
- Feedback can experience significant delays.
- Sender/receiver anonymity may complicate feedback quality and relevance.
Applications of Communication Models in AI
- Progress in AI technologies like chatbots, virtual agents, and social bots is linked to understanding these communication models.
- Enhances lead generation, customer experience, and automation across customer support, marketing, and sales processes.
