Non verbal communication is defined by David Dickson and Owen Hargie as all forms of human communication apart from the purely verbal message (p . 76 .

VanderToorn they pointed out an experiment about an attempt to achieved inter specific communication between human and a killer whale ' This experiment was to find out if an inter-specific communication with a killer whale is possible . The experiment used acoustical symbols to visual object corresponding to auditory stimulus . They used the frequently modulated signals as stimuli which represent two action words take and bring

Result of the experiment

The result of the experiment seemed to indicate positive responses as VanHeel , Kamminga , and van der Toorn noted that the killer whale became more and more active in the acoustic domain ' How ever the authors did not give a concrete result as the experiment seemed to take longer time before it yelled positive result

The Underlying Principles

What is interesting is the idea of exploring the potential of communication between human and animals . If this proves to be successful it could bring us life benefits as we could communicate our minds with those beasts that we are in danger with the aid of modern communication technology

I would like therefore to make this recommendation . I recommend to those in...
