The Code Model of Communication

The Code Model of Communication explains how messages are sent and received using a shared system of symbols or language, called a "code." The sender creates a message and translates it into this code, which is then transmitted through a medium (like speech or text). The receiver decodes or interprets the message back into understanding. Effective communication depends on both parties sharing the same code and understanding it correctly. This model highlights the importance of clear encoding and decoding processes for successful information transfer.
