Communication - ANS the simultaneous sharing and creating of meaning through
human symbolic interaction. Something that happens whenever meaning is
created.

communication - ANS Digitally-based communication- allows conversations to be
digitally saved and made possible to other people. it has the ability to connect with
individuals in local and long-distance places. It also has a lot of varied mobility.
Face-to-face communication allows interactivity and allows immediacy. nonverbal
communication is a lot easier.
Define perception - ANS the process of selecting, organizing, and interpreting
information to give it personal meaning. It lies at the heart of the communication
process and is a part of everything we do. We use at least one of our five senses
, Define and explain the perception process - ANS 1. Selection is the process of
mentally sorting one thing form another. (selective exposure, selective attention,
selective retention)

(Closure, Proximity, Similarity)

experiences, others opinions, verbal communication)
Identify and explain things that contribute to differences in perception - ANS 1.
Perceptual set and Stereotyping- perceptual is a fixed, previously determined view
of people, things, or events. stereotyping is a form of this and can also lead to
inaccuracies in our perception and ultimately our communication
2. Attribution- an error that can occur when people perceive others as they do
because of the kind of people they are rather than external factors that may have
influenced their behavior. Two factors influence our assumptions about our own
and other's behavior: the Situation (environment) and Disposition (traits of the
person).
3. Physical Characteristics- can account for differences in perception. one person
may be 5'10 and someone is 5'1. we perceive it different.
4. Psychological state- our state of mind can alter our perceptions of people,
events, and things. She just had everything cleaned before the guess came. She
had a a different perception on things because she was stressed.
5. Cultural backgrounds- can affect the way people perceive others as well as
events and things.
6. Gender- socially constructed and can affect the way we perceive the world
around us. Whether you feel feminine or masculine.
