Communication Models - Vocabulary Flashcards (Video Notes)

Vocabulary-style flashcards covering key concepts and components from the lecture on communication models (Transactional, Aristotle, Berlo’s SMCR, and Wendel Johnson models) and related elements.

Transactional Model of Communication

A process in which communicators create social realities by sending and receiving messages simultaneously in various social, relational, and cultural contexts.

Aristotle Model of Communication

A speaker-centered model focusing on the speaker and speech; five elements are Speaker, Speech, Occasion, Audience, and Effect.

Audience (Aristotle Model)

Effect (Aristotle Model)

The outcome or impact of the speech on the audience in Aristotle’s model.

Berlo’s SMCR Model

A communication framework that analyzes Sender, Message, Channel, and Receiver, emphasizing emotion content and multiple influencing elements.

Sender (Berlo’s SMCR)

The originator or source of the message in the SMCR model.

Message (Berlo’s SMCR)

The actual content or setting of communication in the SMCR model.

Channel (Berlo’s SMCR)

The medium through which the message is transmitted (e.g., internet, radio, print).

Receiver (Berlo’s SMCR)

The person who decodes and understands the message in the SMCR model.

Content (Berlo’s SMCR)

The subject matter or meaning of the message.

Structure (Berlo’s SMCR)

The organization or arrangement of the message that affects communication effectiveness.

Treatment (Berlo’s SMCR)

The manner in which the message is delivered to the recipient.

Elements (Berlo’s SMCR)

Nonverbal aspects of the message, such as tone, gestures, facial expressions.

Code (Berlo’s SMCR)

The language or system used to encode and send the message.

Culture (Berlo’s SMCR)

Societal norms and beliefs that influence how messages are understood across cultures.

Social System (Berlo’s SMCR)

The social structures and norms between sender and receiver that affect communication.

Hearing (Berlo’s SMCR)

One of the five senses used to receive a message in Berlo’s model.

Seeing (Berlo’s SMCR)

The sense of sight used to receive a message in Berlo’s model.

Tasting (Berlo’s SMCR)

The sense of taste used to receive a message in Berlo’s model.

Touching (Berlo’s SMCR)

The sense of touch used to receive a message in Berlo’s model.

Smelling (Berlo’s SMCR)

The sense of smell used to receive a message in Berlo’s model.

Wendel Johnson Model

A model of communication with stages: Event/source stimulation, sensory stimulation, pre-verbal neurophysiological state, transformation to symbolic forms, and final verbal formulations.

Event or Source Stimulation

External stimuli to the speaker’s senses (e.g., panoramic view, loud sounds, scent).

Sensory Stimulation

Stimulation of the senses: hearing, seeing, tasting, and feeling.

Pre-Verbal Neurophysiological State

The nonverbal brain state before verbal expression.

Transformation of Pre-Verbal into Symbolic Forms

Converting pre-verbal impressions into symbolic representations.

Verbal Formulations in Final Draft for Over Expression
