Ehrlich and Johnson-Laird (1982, Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 21, 296-306) showed that adults interpret spatial descriptions by constructing mental models of them. An alternative strategy may be to encode descriptions verbatim and then to try to represent them overtly, one sentence at a time. A probabilistic model of performance is presented for this strategy, together with three experiments (subjects: 32 third-graders, 36 third-graders, 18 undergraduates, respectively). The results obtained from children (goodness of fit of the probabilistic model, correlations with measures of verbal short-term memory, a rhyme-effect enhancing performance) show that children tend to use the strategy based on phenomic coding. On the other hand, Experiment 3 replicates the finding that adults follow the "mental model" strategy.
