Question

Collin was doing a great job on his speech until a classmate, who was running late for class, opened the door and took a seat in the back of the room. After that, Collin was no longer focused on the speech and did not do a very good job on the conclusion. Which element in the Communication Process Model does this example demonstrate?

Answer 1

The example demonstrates the element of 'noise' or 'interruption' in the Communication Process Model.

Explanation:

• During the course of the process of communication, there are external disturbances that are referred to as 'noise' or 'interruption' in the communication process model.
• These disturbances often culminate in hindering the process temporarily, or sometimes for a long period of time.
• The elements causing disturbances can also be held responsible for the loss of focus during the ongoing process of communication.
