Question 15

What is the Action (Linear) Model?

Answer 15

Portrays communication as a one way process, where when the other person has a response, the whole model flips and returns back to the original sender.

Sender—noise—Message (channel)—noise—Receiver

The sender encodes through verbal/non-verbal communication

Question 16

Answer 16

Semantic: Linguistic influences that interfere with the reception of the message

Physical: loud distracting sounds, room is too hot or cold, things flashing by

Psychological: Thinking, daydreaming

Physiological: Body, hunger, sick, hearing loss

Question 17

What is the interactional model of communication? How does it differ to Linear?

Answer 17

Keeps all 5 original elements (sender, channel, message, noise, receiver) but adds context (environment) and feedback (understanding of communication process)

This creates a two way process:

Sender— message channel — Receiver — feedback —- sender
With context being involved in each step

Question 18

What is the transactional model of communication?

Answer 18

Recognizes there is not one sender and one receiver in the process but rather its a communicator on each side are sending and receiving. The message changes to message/feedback as the receiver does not wait until the message is sent to give feedback

Communicator A — Message/feedback —- Communicatory B

With message/feedback = channel
Noise between each communicator
