Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Perceptual time is related to the processing of non-verbal cues or signals by us.
Statement II: Signalic or perceptual communication is related to the induction of others' communication into our brains, and this kind of communication is also known as semiotics.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer: A. Both Statement I and Statement II are true — CONCEPTIn communication theory, perceptual time is the time dimension of selecting and interpreting sensory information; non-verbal cues such as gestures,…
- A.
Both Statement I and Statement II are true
- B.
Both Statement I and Statement II are false
- C.
Statement I is true but Statement II is false
- D.
Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
CONCEPT
In communication theory, perceptual time is the time dimension of selecting and interpreting sensory information; non-verbal cues such as gestures, facial expressions, and tone are part of that perceptual input.
Semiotics studies how signs and signals produce meaning. Signalic or perceptual communication therefore concerns receiving another person’s signs and decoding them within the receiver’s cognitive system.
APPLICATION
Statement I identifies perceptual time with the processing of non-verbal cues. This follows the definition because those cues are sensory inputs whose interpretation occurs in the perceptual system.
Statement II links the internal decoding of another person’s communication with semiotics. This follows because semiotics supplies the sign-to-meaning framework used in such decoding.
CONTRAST
“Both statements are false” replaces both perceptual cue processing and sign interpretation with narrower ideas.
“Statement I is true but Statement II is false” keeps the perceptual-processing link but separates signalic communication from semiotic meaning.
“Statement I is false but Statement II is true” keeps the semiotic link but replaces perceptual processing with clock-duration measurement.
RESULT
Therefore, both Statement I and Statement II are true.
