Abstract
This study investigated the relationship between linguistic code elaboration and verbal processing strategies. Individual, structured interviews were administered to a sample of 48 male and 48 female adolescents, aged between 15 and 16 yr., to obtain measures in two domains, linguistic and verbal. Interdomain relationships were explored by means of principal component analysis and canonical correlation. The pattern of relationships between the two domains suggested a functional relationship between the linguistic codes and task-specific verbal processing modes. That is to say, linguistic codes reflected the simplicity or complexity of verbal processing strategies needed for task completion.
