Two studies examined the effect that mental representations derived from maps and verbal descriptions have on the recall of facts from a text. In Experiment 1, subjects studied a map of Tasmania, a control map of Ceylon, or comparable verbal descriptions and then listened to a text containing facts about Tasmania. Fact recall was higher and map drawings were more accurate for the group that studied the Tasmania map. In Experiment 2, subjects studied a map of Tasmania, or one of two verbal descriptions (using different sequences of landmarks) of Tasmania. The results replicated those of Experiment 1. These findings suggest that there may be fundamental differences between visual and verbal representations of the same space.
