    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
