This video helps clarify models of communication by using pictures and visual examples of what happens when other people communicate. It also helps clarify what is happening in a conversation between two people.

The transactional model is represented by a lump of clay during the ted talk. Instead of using a ball as an example they say that a speech is like throwing a lump of clay between two people.
