If you are starving, the only thing you are thinking about is food. That is noise: the level of feedback differs in different communication contexts. Three models of communication: the action model of communication, the interaction model of communication, the transactional model of communication, communication can be understood in a variety of ways. The action model of communication: a one-way (or linear) process in which a source encodes a message through a channel for a receiver to decode or interpret on the end. The interaction model of communication: communication is seen as a two-way process between senders and receivers of messages, this model recognizes the importance of feedback and context in communicating with others. Differences in perceptions: everyone has different physiological features. Self-image and perception: the way you see yourself impacts the way you communicate with others.
