Study Notes
Communication Process Elements
- Sender: The initiator of the communication, also known as the source. They have information they wish to share and encode it for transmission.
- Receiver: The intended recipient of the message. They decode and interpret the received information.
- Message: The information the sender wants to convey.
- Medium (Channel): The method used to transmit the message.
- Feedback: The response given after the message is received and understood.
- Noise: Interference that affects the message's transmission, reception, or understanding. Examples include static, cultural misunderstandings, or language barriers.
- Context: The setting and situation in which communication occurs.
Communication Models
- Aristotle's Model: A speaker-centered model focusing on the speaker, speech, occasion, audience, and effect. It views communication as a one-way process from speaker to receiver.
- Berlo's Model: Emphasizes encoding and decoding, which occur before and after message exchange, in the sender and receiver respectively.
- Shannon and Weaver's Model: Describes communication through answering five questions: "Who?" "Says what?" "In which channel?" "To whom?" "With what effect?" It's a framework for understanding communication.
