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
this model takes the linear model and multiplies it times two with a quick flip of the exchange of message between the sender and receiver
interactive model
interactive model includes
eedback
example of interactive model
schramm model
two-way process of exchanging ideas, messages, and information
interactive model of communication
in the interactive model, each party
takes turns as a sender and receiver
this model emphasizes the importance of feedback and interaction in communication
interactive model
example of interactive mmodel
explains direct personal communication processes where two-way feedback is immediate
transactional model
in the transactional model, feedback is
immediate
the transactional model depicts
f2f interaction
a dynamic and changeable process where the receiver and sender can play the same roles as messages can be sent back and forth simultaneously
transactional model
transactional model is also
chaotic and ineffective
why is transactional model chaotic and ineffective
noise barriers
proposed that communication between two or more people occurs in an ongoing exchange of messages, where both the sender and receiver influence what is communicated
transactional
example of transactional model
f2f communication
symbolic, transactioanl process, or the process of creating and sharing meaning
communication
means that when people communicate, they have a mutual impact on each other
transactional
mainly focused on speaker and speech
aristotle model
elements of aristotle model
speaker → speech → occasion → audience →effect
emphasizes the speaker’s ability to attract his or her target audience by their speech
aristotle model
main person in aristotle model
speaker
role of audience in aristotle model
passive
one-way, focusing on the transmission of a
message to a receiver who never responds or has no way of responding to the
information conveyed.
linear communication
competition organizer is presenting the
contest mechanics
linear
president giving his State of the Nation Address on the national television
linear
a student who reads a poem or tells a story in front of an audience
linear
a two-way communication process where a
response is given after a message is sent. The recipient of the action intentionally
or unintentionally gives a feedback associated with the information received.
interactive
when an idea or information is translated into words and
expressed to others.
encoding
when this idea or information is understood and
interpreted by the receiver.
decoding
JHS graders having their dance practice for the upcoming event
transactional
group project where everyone gives an opinion or reaction to the closure of the biggest television network
transactional
shows a circular process of interaction between
the persons involved in the communication, with each one actively participating
and sharing ideas with one another.
transactional
when was the schramm model created
1954
