- The sender encodes (thinks about what to say in the message) before sending it.
- The receiver then decodes (interprets the message) and responds back to it, which is called feedback.
- The channels are the way the message is sent, whether by text, email, letter, etc.
- The noise within the conversation is internal interference.
- The noise outside of the conversation is external interference.
- The context is the setting and time of the conversation.
