Abstract
Both experts and novices commonly draw diagrams when solving physics problems. Two reasons for this behaviour are considered, and we describe an experimental study which shows the usefulness of diagram construction in checking for errors of problem interpretation. Impossible interpretations are more likely to be recognised by the problem-solver if the relevant quantities can be meaningfully compared on a diagram.
