Models of Communication

Models of communication are frameworks that explain how information is shared between people. They describe the process where a sender encodes a message and transmits it through a medium to a receiver, who then decodes it. These models help us understand potential barriers like noise or misunderstandings that can distort the message. Different models, such as linear, interactive, or transactional, highlight aspects like feedback or context, offering insights into effective communication. They are useful tools for analyzing and improving how we exchange information in various settings.
