List and discuss the components of the visual and auditory channels of communication

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Answers should include visual (audience members see the speaker and decode the nonverbal symbols—eye contact or lack of it, facial expressions, posture, gestures, and dress. If the speaker uses any visual aids, such as PowerPoint slides or models, these too are transmitted along the visual channel) and auditory (the auditory channel opens as the speaker speaks. Audience members hear words and such vocal cues as inflection, rate, and voice quality.)
