Receiver: the receiver, the fourth element of communication process is the listener, who must listen, observe, and
attend. This person is the decoder, who must perceive what the sender intended (interpretation). Perception uses
all ofthe senses to receive verbal and non verbal messages. To decode means to relate the message perceived to
the receiver's storehouse of knowledge and experience and to sort out the meaning of message. Ineffective
communication occurs when the message sent is misinterpreted by the receiver. {
