Communication Models (3) Flashcards
What is the key idea of the ‘Linear Model of Communication’?
Communication is a one-way process where a sender transmits a message to a receiver.
What is the Linear Model of Communication known as?
Shannon-Weaver Model
What are the key elements of the Linear Model of Communication (Shannon-Weaver Model)?
- Sender: The person who creates the message.
- Message: The information being communicated.
- Channel: The medium through which the message is sent.
- Receiver: The person who receives the message.
- Noise: External factors that distort or interrupt communication (e.g., physical noise, language barriers).
What is the key idea of the Interactive Model of Communication?
Communication is a two-way process where both parties send and receive messages.
What is the Interactive Model of Communication also known as?
Schramm Model
What are the key elements of the Interactive Model of Communication (Schramm Model)?
- Sender and Receiver: Both can act as senders and receivers.
- Feedback: The receiver’s response to the message, which can be verbal or non-verbal.
- Shared Context: The background knowledge or experiences that affect how messages are interpreted.
What is the key idea of the Transactional Model of Communication?
Communication is simultaneous and involves both sender and receiver encoding and decoding messages at the same time.
What are the key elements of the Transactional Model of Communication?
- Feedback Loop: Continuous exchange of messages.
- Shared Meaning: Emphasis on mutual understanding.
- Noise: Distortions that affect the meaning of the message but acknowledged as part of the process.
What are the three(3) main models of communication?
- Linear Model of Communication (Shannon-Weaver Model)
- Interactive Model of Communication (Schramm Model)
- Transactional Model of Communication
