Reciting memorized directions (A) and giving GPS coordinates (B) do not involve mental visualizations of the path. Drawing a map (D) may help, but the student would still need to describe the path through a mental image for the map to be useful. Therefore, walking through a mental image of the path and describing it (C) is the most likely way a student would describe the path to his dorm room.
