What is the difference between intentional communication and communication intentionality?
Intentional communication is deliberate and purposeful, aimed at influencing or informing another person. Communication intentionality refers to whether behaviour is interpreted as communicative, even if not deliberately intended, highlighting the role of the receiver.
What are the early communication milestones from 0–6 months?
0–3 months: Reacts to sounds, coos, cries. 4–6 months: Begins babbling, responds to tone of voice, shows interest in faces.
What are the early communication milestones from 6–12 months?
6–9 months: Uses vocalisations and gestures. 9–12 months: Points, waves, understands ‘no’, uses joint attention.
What communication development occurs from 12–18 months?
First words appear, intentional vocalisations and gestures combine to express needs and interests.
What is Broca’s area responsible for?
Speech production and articulation, located in the frontal lobe.
What is Wernicke’s area responsible for?
Language comprehension, located in the temporal lobe.
What are the roles of the primary auditory and visual cortices in communication?
Primary auditory cortex processes sound; primary visual cortex processes visual input for reading and nonverbal communication.
What is the arcuate fasciculus and its function?
A bundle of nerve fibers connecting Broca’s and Wernicke’s areas, facilitating coordinated speech and comprehension.
List and describe the four types of noise in communication.
Semantic: language/word misunderstandings; Physical: environmental distractions; Psychological: biases/stress; Physiological: biological issues like hearing loss.
What is the Linear Model of Communication?
A one-way communication model (Shannon & Weaver) where a message moves from sender to receiver, with noise potentially interfering.
What are the strengths and limitations of the Linear Model?
Strength: Basic info transfer. Limitation: Doesn’t include feedback or context.
What is the Interactional Model of Communication?
Two-way communication model (Schramm) including feedback and shared understanding, but sequential turns.
What are the strengths and limitations of the Interactional Model?
Strength: Acknowledges feedback. Limitation: Doesn’t fully reflect real-time communication.
What is the Transactional Model of Communication?
A dynamic model (Barnlund) where communicators are simultaneously senders and receivers, focusing on shared meaning.
What are the strengths and limitations of the Transactional Model?
Strength: Realistic and comprehensive. Limitation: Complexity in application.
What are the three levels of the Speech Chain Model?
Linguistic level (encoding/decoding), physiological level (muscle/auditory involvement), and acoustic level (sound transmission).
How does the Speech Chain Model apply to spoken communication?
It includes encoding thoughts, producing speech physiologically, transmitting sound, and decoding it by the listener.
How does communication differ for Sign Language users?
They use a ‘Gesture Chain’ involving visual/manual signals and visual feedback instead of acoustic signals.
How does the communication model adapt for AAC users?
It includes device-based input/output, partner interpretation, and may involve physical or cognitive adaptations.
What are considerations in communication for individuals with profound intellectual disability?
Communication may rely on unintentional signals, tactile/visual feedback, and strong partner interpretation skills.
