Study Notes

Communication Models

  • Communication models describe the process of communication
  • Different models represent various aspects of the communication process
  • Models can be categorized as Linear, Interactive, and Transactional

Linear/Classical Model

  • Information flows from a sender to a receiver through a channel
  • Sender transmits a message, and the receiver receives it
  • The sender does not receive feedback
  • Example: Talking to someone who is ignoring you

Interactive Model

  • Two-way communication
  • Sender transmits a message to a receiver, and the receiver provides feedback
  • Feedback allows the sender to know if the message was received
  • Example: Having a conversation with someone

Transactional Model

  • Communication is a continuous, simultaneous exchange
  • The roles of sender and receiver change dynamically
  • Communication involves multiple influences, such as shared experiences
  • Participants are simultaneously senders and receivers
  • Includes considerations of "noise" sources that disrupt communication

Encoding

  • Converting thoughts into language or symbols
  • Example: Putting thought or information into words

Decoding

  • Interpreting the signs and symbols from a sender into meaning
  • Example : The sender interprets the message and gives it meaning from his/her perspective

Feedback

  • The receiver's response to the sender's message
  • Allows the sender to adjust based on the outcome of the message
  • Example : a response to the sender from the receiver about the accuracy and reception of the message

Noise

  • Interference in the communication process such as language errors
  • Can occur during encoding, transmitting, or decoding steps
