Decoding, Feedback and Noise

Decoding

Successful decoding depends on the receiver having:
Willingness receives the message. Knowledge of the jargon and terminology used  in the message. An understanding of the sender’s purpose and background situation.

Feedback

Appropriate forms of feedback are determined by the same factors that govern the sender’s encoding decision. Feedback affects the form and content of follow-up communication. Effective feedback is timely, relevant, and personal.

Noise

Noise is any interference with the normal flow of communication. A speech impairment, garbled technical transmission, negative attitudes, lies, misperception, illegible print or pictures, telephone static, partial loss of hearing, and poor eyesight all qualify as noise. Understanding decreases as noise increases.
To deal with noise: Make messages more understandable. Minimize and neutralize sources of interference.
