Briefly describe how distortions may occur during the encoding process, or the process by which messages are put into symbolic form.

What will be an ideal response?


The encoding process will be affected by varying degrees of skill in encoding. It will also be affected by earlier communication, including what both parties want to communicate and how they have reacted to earlier communications. One party may encode a message in a form that the other may not prefer. Distortions are likely if the sender encodes the message in a way that impedes understanding or accurate interpretation by the recipient.
