I personally think she is a very smart little girl. If she just gets a spanking then it is over with quick and she doesn't really "pay" the consequences for not following your directions. If she is grounded that takes a longer period for her to "think" things over and she misses out on all the fun stuff her friends are doing. So if she just gets a spanking then it is over and done with so she can still do the fun stuff with her friends.
I have a 11 year old son and I am trying more and more to ground him from things and try not to spank him as that doesn't seem to work at all anymore with him. If he has to think about it for a while and miss some really cool stuff he wants to do, then he does think about his actions a little more than when I just spank usually out of anger with him unfortunately.
Good luck
