Osgood & Schramm model of communication is a model of communication designed to better represent the reciprocal nature of interpersonal communication. The standard model depicted a linear model where a source sends a message through a medium to a receiver where its processed. However that does not complete interpersonal communication. The receiver must decode and interpret the senders message and then give feedback so the receiver also becomes a sender and vice versa. This model creates a communication flow that better represents how people communicate.
