Stages for and interactive communication
Answers
he communication process take place between humans or machines in both verbal or non-verbal way. This is a relatively new model of communication for new technologies like web.
Different components of interactive model of communicaiton
Components of Interactive Model
Interactive Model of Communication requires different following components for the communication process to work:
Encoder-Source-Decoder: The person who originates a message is the source. The encoder and decoder are the same person/source. The second source is also encoder as well as decoder. The source acts as an encoder while sending the message and as decoder while receiving the message.
The second source decodes the message, then originates another message, encodes it and sends it to the first source. The source is known to be encoder and decoder during the act of encoding and decoding.
Message: Message is the information sent during the interaction.
Feedback: The decoder forms a second message after receiving the first which is known as feedback.
Field of Experience: Field of experience is the experience and knowledge that the source possess which affects the message formation and interpretation. For example, the source’s culture, social behavior, etc.
Concepts of Interactive Model
In Interactive model, whenever a source sends a message to a receiver (source), he/she encodes the message first. The encoded message is then received by the receiver where it is decoded to get the original information. Again, the receiver acts as a source, encodes another message (also knows as a feedback) and sends it back to the sender.
The message formation of both sources are affected by their “field of experience”. Field of Experience is a communication pattern alteration factor like culture, social, psychology, situation and channels used. Overlapping field of experiences initiates conversation and conversation, in turn, expands the communicator’s field of experience. All these factors also affect the message interpretation.
The model also has a concept of noise and barriers to communications like language, network problems, etc which affects the communication process. There is an open line of communication in interactive communication model. Being interactive is taken to be a very important aspect of effective communication.
