Communication

Disciplines > Communication

It may seem strange to have a disciplines section on communication, but then communication is a discipline in and of itself -- there are many communications professionals and you can study for a degree in the subject.

Much of this site is about communications. This section is thus more of a 'fill in', adding pages that don't fit into other areas.

• Levels of abstraction: Object, experience, concept.
• Media fidelity: The effectiveness of the media effects the message.
• Signals: Sending unspoken messages.
• Signal response: Misinterpreting the symbol as the thing.
• SMCR Model: Basic sequence of communication.
• The Johari Window: What we share with one another.
• The newspaper method: Go from headlines to minor detail.
• The meaning of colors: How color affects us in different ways.
• Transportation Model: Transport knowledge to the other person.
• Viewpoint: What you understand depends on where you stand.
