or behavior.

any act by which one person gives to

or receives from another person
information about that person's needs,
desires, perceptions, knowledge, or
affective states. Communication may
be intentional or unintentional, may

Definition from Merriam-Webster

Dictionary:
To transmit information, thought, or
feeling so that it is satisfactorily
received or understood

When a person sends or receives

information, ideas, and feelings with
others not only using spoken or written
communication but also non verbal
communication.
Communication requires a sender, a
message, and a recipient

Involves three primary steps:

Thought: information exists in the
mind of the sender. This can be a
concept, idea, information, or feelings.
Encoding: a message is sent to a
receiver in words or other symbols.
Decoding: the receiver translates the
words or symbols into a concept or
information that a person can
understand.
