The Communication Cycle was first identified in 1965 by Charles Berner.Then later reform by Arygale; who was a psychologist. The communication cycle is when we understand what is being said, reflect and check out what the person you are communicating with is saying.

2. Message coded
3. Message sent
4. Message received
5. Message decoded
6. Idea understood
