Lesson 2: Models of Communication Flashcards
three-dimensional representation of a person, thing, or of a proposed structure, typically on a smaller scale than the original
models
used to represent things which cannot be seen by our naked eyes
models in science
three standard models of communication
linear, interactive, transactional
linear communication is
one-way process
examples of linear communication
shannon-weaver model
elements of linear communication
source (producer of message) → transmitter (encoder of message into signals) → channel (signals adapted for transmission) → receiver (decoder of message from signal) → destination
they transmit a message through a channel
sender
they receive and decode the message
receiver
what is linear communication criticized for
feedback
why is feedback needed
because the speaker will not know whether the receiver understands the message or not
who conceptualized shannon-weaver model
shannon and weaver
when was the shannon weaver model conceptualized
1949
shannon-weaver model is also known as
mother of all communication model
flow of shannon weaver
information source → transmitter → channel (signal) → receiver → destination
what do critics say about the shannon weaver model
misleading misrepresentation of the nature of human communication
why is the shannon weaver model a misleading misrepresentation of the nature of human communiation
because human communication is not mathematical in nature
an uncomplicated, direct way to comprehend how two different parties communicate with one another.
linear model of communication
single-directional process that occurs when a sender passes along a message without any feedback or response from the receiver
linear model of communication
example of linear communication
radio broadcasting
when does linear communication stop
after the message arrived at its destination
the interactive model is also known as
convergence model
