Label the parts of the Transactional Model.

The Transactional Model of Communication refers to the exchange of messages in the communication process between the communicators known as the listener (or receiver) and the speaker (or sender). The term transactional means that in this model the communication is an ongoing and changing process, where the communicators' roles of listener and speaker can take turns or reverses, which means that in each person can be a sender and a receiver of information simultaneously and thus, be interdependent to each other.

Bearing in mind the stated before, it could be said that the parts of the Transactional Model of Communication are; the sender (source of the information that is being communicated), the message (the information being communicated), the channel (how the message is being sent), the receiver (person for which the information is meant), feedback (reaction to the message made by the receiver) and finally the noise (which represents any distraction that could interrupt the message from being understood).

In communication and development "The Transactional Model" is a key component to understand the interaction between humans and nature throughout development begining with childhood and the different elements of communication, where participants are senders & receivers of the message being communicated;

thus we have the sender (the source), the message, the channel (medium used to send the message) and the receiver (destination of the message).
