My Learning NotesHow communication works
Contents
To learn how to communicate well, it is necessary to understand how communication works.
To understand how communication works, it is useful to represent it through a model. Several theorists have proposed different models of communication that are simplified representation of the communication. Here I report a resume of the main concepts behind these models.
The main components of a communication are:
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Information | what the sender wants to convey to the receiver. |
| Sender | who transmit the information. |
| Message | the whole of symbols (words, numbers,…) and signals (verbal, non-verbal, para-verbal) the information has been encoded into. |
| Channel | the physical medium the message is transmitted on. |
| Receiver | who receive the message. |
| Feedback | what the receiver give back to the sender to show that it has understood or not the message. |
| Noise | what influence and may interfere with the communication |
