Communications Progress Test 1 Practice

In the basic Shannon-Weaver model, which element is not included?

Sender Channel Feedback Destination

Correct Answer:

Feedback

Explanation:

In the basic Shannon-Weaver model, communication is treated as a straight-line process: a sender encodes a message, it travels through a channel where noise can distort it, and a receiver decodes it so the destination gets the message. There’s no loop that sends a response back to the sender, so there’s no feedback path in this original version. Feedback is added in later, more complex models to capture two-way communication, but the basic model focuses on one-way transmission. So, the element not included is feedback.
