Terms and DefinitionsA. Communication vs. Communicationsi. Communication: The study of messages – this class is called “Introduction to Communication”, the college is called the “Department of Communication”.These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.ii. Communications: The practice of using messages – the actual act of communicating.B. Cognitive vs. Cognitioni. Cognitive: adjective; related to conscious mental activities (thinking)ii. Cognition: noun; thinkingiii. Both relate to thinking, just different types of wordsC. Affect: noun; an emotional response (easily confused with the noun effect, which is “a change or result from something that happened”, or the verb effect, which is “to cause something to happen”)D. Social: refers to peopleE. Context: the current situation or circumstancesF. Quantitative vs. Qualitativei. Quantitative: “countable”; used to describe researchii. Qualitative: also used to describe research; the focus is on description rather than numbers; sometimes “intangible” (non-physical) data iii. For example, quantitative data would be SAT scores (research dealing with numbers), while qualitative data would be favorite soda (research dealing with names or descriptions)G. Implication: i.

For example, the word “dog” itself has no resemblance to the furry, barking animal we keep as a household pet.ii.Analogic codes: has resemblance to meaning. Much nonverbal communication is analogic code. For example, smiling or raising your voice at someone are both forms of communication that have direct resemblance to their meanings. b.Overt and Coverti.Covert: hidden, no access (ie: subtle body language)ii.Overt: obvious, visible, audible (ie: spoken words)c.Encoding and Decodingi.Encoding: creating a messageii.Decoding: deciphering a messaged.A means and an endIII.
