ANSWER: Aristotle's Model has three variables in the communication process: speaker, speech and audience.Lasswell's Model described communication as being focused on the following Ws: Who, says What, in Which channel, to Whom, and with What effect.The Shannon- Weaver's Communication Model was conceptualized for the functioning of radio and television and was later on adopted in the field of communication. The components are the information source for the sender, transmitter for the encoder, decoder, and receiver . Noise, reception, destination and feedback have been identified.The Berlo's communication model was called SMCR that stands for Source,Message,Channel,and Receiver.However, it was also modified later on to include noise, hence the acronym SMCRN.One model differ from the others in accordance to the variables/components included in each model. 3.If you were to choose a conceptual model for communication, what would you prefer and why?How can you be guided by any of these models when you communicate?
