The model of the communication process shows that communication works when people decode messages as well as send them. This means that effective communication requires both the sender and receiver to not only send and receive messages but also understand and interpret them accurately. The presence of noise or feedback can impede communication, but they do not determine if communication works or not. The act of hearing messages instead of listening to them is not a sufficient condition for successful communication either.
