Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The first step in the communication process is the sender encoding a thought into a message. This means that they take their idea and put it into words or symbols that can be understood by the receiver. The other actions listed, such as making contact with the receiver or choosing a channel of communication, come after the message has been encoded. Feedback is also not initiated by the sender, but rather given by the receiver after they have received and interpreted the message.
