Transmission Model of Communication: Shannon and Weaver

[@batanguenainquarantine2491]

Thank you for this video. I have my Midterms tomorrow and this is what I need. A crash course to review me.

[@vanezzaterry7768]

short and to the point. Explaining with a basic example of Let's get a dog the message/channel communication in between the encoder and decoder

[@viaujoc]

When I present this model to an audience I also add a box around the sender and the receiver labeled "Context". This takes into account the things that the sender may take for granted when writing the message and the bias that the receiver may add when interpreting it. Although a communication itself may have occurred, I think that adding the Feedback and the Contexts really helps modeling the required elements of an "Efficient communication" and makes the model more suitable for human interactions. Also, I think that we should interpret the Feedback component of the model loosely enough to include non-verbal reactions as a form of feedback. Shannon & Weaver did include only one channel element in their original model, which is consistent with a technological communication (ex: phone) but human communication simply has different channels for the Message and the Feedback: a message is sent verbally (sound channel) and the feedback may be a non-verbal gesture (visual channel).

[@alexanderlyon]

Hi Jocelyn. I have another video on the Transactional Model that gets into feedback, context, nonverbal, etc. It builds on this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJWaqGh5h9OZbc0

[@gloriakisoso618]

God bless you and thank you so much.. you really simplified the concept. Please make another video for all the other models of communication. GOD BLESS

[@alexanderlyon]

Hi Gloria. God bless you! I actually do have 3 other videos on other models: Here they are: 1. Transactional Model: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJWaqGh5h9OZbc0 2. Comparison/Contrast: A. Transmission, B. Transactional, and C. Constitutive Models: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hV6yXpmMataHY5I 3. Strategic Ambiguity: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3ncYqd7o7iifLs

[@aaronbourne1725]

So let me get this straight....The shannon weaver's model is like the linear model, where there isn't feedback?

[@alexanderlyon]

Yes. Correct.

[@jermaineedwards7157]

Doing an awesome job. As someone who has to present and communicate big ideas daily your work has been very helpful. Appreciate the generous content.

[@alexanderlyon]

Hi, Jermaine. Thanks for the encouragement. I'm happy to hear the videos are helpful.

[@rajatheking6944]

Communication Coach Alex Lyon wow thanks a lot sir i saw a apk named who uses my wifi and i found that a stranger named communication weaver i didnt brocked hik becoz i think hes admin of my wifi router may be and hes is using mac i told mac address and id address of him should i block him or not

[@alexanderlyon]

Sorry. I'm not sure how to advise you on this. Good luck.

[@mysophorn]

I've learned the model in my IT class back then. I understand it better from you video. Thank you.

[@alexanderlyon]

Glad it helped!

[@Babyfacewilly]

Great explanation.. Short, Clear & Simple... Good job... Keep it up..

[@alexanderlyon]

Will do!

[@drz1304]

[@traceyhoover]

High quality content and information. Thank you.

[@imseulgischest1236]

Please also make a video about Aristotle, Schramm(Wilbur) and White(Eugene) models of communication

[@alexanderlyon]

Are you a student in college? Is that why you want to learn about these?

[@imseulgischest1236]

Communication Coach Alex Lyon Grade 11 students and yeah I'm studying the 4 models of communication because I didn't understand everything when my teacher discussed it.

[@tarunshukla6060]

Ditto

[@kryzkatt0623]

Can you explain how communication takes place on their illustration

[@dianabuenaobra]

I am confused. In some articles, Feedback is included in the Shannon and Weaver Model, meanwhile here it says that feedback is not part of the model.

[@alexanderlyon]

Sometimes writers add it to the model.

[@micahbelocura1190]

same. it's confusing. some articles in the internet include feedback. but our media information literacy teacher said that there is no feedback.

[@galasinaomelbertp.8094]

We are talking about the original Shannon and Weaver Model of Communication here.

[@imaneelaali7854]

thank u so much sir .. it is sooo helpful for my communication studies exam

[@alexanderlyon]

You are very welcome. :-)

[@ceced8147]

It’s the fact that I just started high school and have a test about this( I live in Sweden) but in America you guys are doing this in college, I didn’t think the schools systems were that different.

[@alexanderlyon]

They teach it in high school here as well.

[@BradMillar-ni6yq]

Very good overall; I suggest that if you update this you include the important concept of "Noise."

[@alexanderlyon]

Hi, Brad. The concept of noise was not in this original model. I came in a later model. Some textbooks add noise to Shannon and Weaver’s original, but it’s not in the article that was first published.

[@jobettinaa]

Thank you Mr. Alex Lyon!! 🙌🏻

[@jaydeeverdeflor9354]

Thank you Alex! This is a big help.

[@제하카르띠크]

What's the definition of Ethicizing and Narcotizing in Communication?

[@WhySoShirious]

So this model is considered linear- meaning one directional. So wouldnt that mean that there is no feedback intended? Because the message is going one way and there is not possible feedback? For example, the kardashians sending a message to their audience, being linear, and the audience cannot respond to this message (they wont be able to see responses from everyone)

[@alexanderlyon]

The model doesn't include the concept of feedback. It's a model that provides a way of looking at our communication. Later, other researchers added feedback and other features to the model to capture that aspect of our experience, especially for face-to-face communication. From a practical standpoint, feedback may be happening. It's just that the model wouldn't adequately describe it because it lacks the concept to do so. Good question!

[@WhySoShirious]

Communication Coach Alex Lyon Wow thank you so much for your quick reply! Helps a lot!!

[@francisanthonyandoy5098]

Thank you Sir Alex Lyon❤

[@njj1018]

Hi I’m having a hard time finding the types of noises these are: 1- No branding in the video 2- auto translation ( I’m thinking maybe it’s semantic) 3- Not responding to customers questions and comments ( can it be Attitudinal noise It will cause anger and frustration to the customers (a negative attitude)) 4- Videos fast in action ( visual noise) 5- Short videos (visual noise) Please correct me if I’m wrong🙈🙈

What is the similarities of Shannon-Weaver and Newcomb's model ?

[@mkkaaayy]

Hi, sir. I have a question. Is this model only for communication that involves the use of electronic devices? Like phone calls, etc. Please reply, thank you.

[@alexanderlyon]

The model can be used to analyze almost any communication situation. However, because it was invented with technology in mind, it works very well when analyzing communication situations involving devices of some kind.

[@mkkaaayy]

I get it now. Thanks for replying.

[@HarshVardhanThiraniHVT]

[@angelgoddess10]

I'm confused. Isn't SMCR Model by Berlo? Also Shannon and Weaver model has feedback right?

[@alexanderlyon]

Hi, Rocio. Well, you're right in that the "SMCR" model is Berlo's in terms of the branding of the model but Berlo's model comes 10 years later and is directly based upon Shannon and Weaver's model. Shannon and Weaver came first, in other words. In the video, I explain it as Shannon and Weaver model (e.g., telephone, etc.) because they came up with it first in 1949 and Berlo adds a lot of explanation to each of the SMCR parts that Shannon and Weaver didn't originally go into and I don't go into those in the video. As far as the concept of feedback, that concept is not in Shannon and Weaver's model as I mention in the video. Some books add that when they talk about Shannon and Weaver's model (and some teachers do too) but I've read the original article and feedback is not in their diagram and the word doesn't appear in their original article. Some books sort of combine these foundational models (Shannon and Weaver plus some Berlo, etc.) and some books even add "feedback" as part of the basic model because the earliest few models had a lot of overlap. All that to say, I went with the original model but a simplified version of it. It's a 3 min video so I just stuck to the basics.

[@angelgoddess10]

Communication Coach Alex Lyon thank you for the clarification. Great video by the way!

[@harshu8646]

Thanku Sir for your service..

[@alexanderlyon]

Happy to help. Thank you for your encouragement.

It make sense! I love the doggo pics!

[@alfredopeyemi1303]

Hi please can you explain the defleur and Wesley and McLean model of communication

[@alexanderlyon]

Ah, I probably won't do a video on that one, at least not anytime soon. But, thanks for the request, Alfred. It is an interesting model.

[@marvinpaduada268]

What makes the SMCR unique?

[@Yahlvin26]

may i ask if it is shanon or a berlos model, my teacher toughts us about the models she said that the process of communication SMCR is on the berlos model.

[@alexanderlyon]

I'm only basing this video on Shannon and Weaver's model. Berlo's model looks very similar because Shannon and Weaver came first.

[@aishahabib2179]

can you please tell me a convincing point for this model? or why should we use this? or any life relayed example PLEASE? also i wanna say it is really helpful for my upcoming presentation.

[@alexanderlyon]

Hi Aisha. Like any model or theory, it provides a way to analyze communication to either describe it clearly or to look for problems and recommend solutions.

[@benjaminikimisha7195]

Please!!? What are the main Arguments of this model?

[@alexanderlyon]

Can you clarify your question? I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean the arguments against this model? As in it's weaknesses.

[@jamelafrancisco8223]

thank you for this video😄

[@winnierissagrizzelle204]

hello is the shannon weaver only applicable on electronic? or can it be also orally?

[@alexanderlyon]

You can apply it to any type of communication but it was designed with information technology in mind. So, it naturally fits phones, texting, etc. But, it still has some use when applied to oral communication. The transactional model of communication was build with face-to-face communication in mind: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJWaqGh5h9OZbc0

[@pineapplehead4290]

Can someone please tell me the characteristics of this model

[@shilanandchaubey1626]

Do non-verbal element exist in David Berlo's SMCR Model??

[@alexanderlyon]

The Transactional Model accounts more fully to nonverbal communication. I have another video on that.

[@kenlemuelroferos7274]

Is it possible that noise won't be present in a situation?

[@alexanderlyon]

Hypothetically? Maybe. It's hard to imagine the total absence of noise since there are so many kinds (e.g., environmental noise, cognitive noise, etc.). But, it is certainly possible to have such low levels that the noise is irrelevant.

[@Jane-ht8sq]

Hi! How is this model applied to face to face communication?

[@aaronjulc.noblejas716]

what's the difference between berlo's model and shannon-weaver model?

[@alexanderlyon]

This video is on Shannon and Weaver's model. They invented it. Berlo is essentially another version of Shannon and Weaver's model with some additional explanation and discussion about how people interact and a discussion of the details of each of the four main parts, what they might include, etc. But, in my opinion, without Shannon and Weaver's model, Berlo's model would not have existed. Berlo's model came 12 years later.

[@yeezy2132]

do you think this model have any value on understanding the media nowadays? thank god

[@kokojoy1787]

Please!?! What is the meaning of transmitting in eugene white's model?

[@alexanderlyon]

Sorry. I don't have a video on that. Good luck.

[@jamersjames329]

Can i ask if there's any similarities with shannon weaver model and schramm model?

[@alexanderlyon]

Sounds like a school question. It's best if you come up with your own answers to that.

[@angelgrace8802]

Thank you po😊

[@kryzkatt0623]

Since the model was made up for technical communication. What does it mean?

[@alexanderlyon]

It means that the model is good at helping explain communication that happens through technology (e.g., phone, text, etc.), but it is not as usual for explaining face-to-face communication.

[@kryzkatt0623]

Thank you sir

Thank you sir alex lyon.

[@omaroukar5988]

Which company still using this model ?

[@alexanderlyon]

It's a model/theory that researchers developed. It wouldn't say that it is used by specific companies since theories are a way of thinking about and looking at communication. It doesn't come with a set of clear corporate practices.

[@kryzkatt0623]

What is its modern day relevance?

[@alexanderlyon]

Good question! I see the model as most relevant today when it coms to any communication involving technology. So, texting, email, most social media, etc. In some ways, we communicate more than ever through channels like that. For example, if I post a video and people watch it but nobody ever likes (or dislikes) or makes a comment, then there's a lack of feedback even though the message has been sent and received.
