The simplified communication model created by Wilbur Schramm initially had which of the following elements?
- An encoding source
- A noise breaker
- A noise marker
- A message for transmission
- A decoder to decode the message
A1, 2 & 3 only
B2, 3 & 4 only
C3, 4 & 5 only
D1, 4 & 5 only ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) 1, 4 & 5 only — The elements were an encoding source, a message for transmission and a decoder, so the answer is 1, 4 and 5.
Explanation
★The elements were an encoding source, a message for transmission and a decoder, so the answer is 1, 4 and 5.
★Schramm's model shows communication as an exchange between two people.
★It begins with an encoding source that creates the message, matching item 1.
★It has a message for transmission that passes between them, matching item 4.
★It ends with a decoder that decodes the message, matching item 5.
★A noise breaker and a noise marker were not elements of this initial model.
★So the answer is items 1, 4 and 5.
