Abstract: This is the continuation of the experimental research on the developmentof cognition of two kinds of space relation,The inner occupied area waschanged into circular form.The results indicate:In the discrimination ofchildren there is a transitional form from intuitional judgement to inferencejudgement.In the same discrimination the intuitional and inference activitiesare interlocked,thus the parts of occupied area conforms into a whole,butdiscrimination of the leftover areas is bound by intuition.Children canunderstand that equal amount subtract equal amount the remainder is equal,but children are not able to use this to solve the four types of problems.Soto pass these transitions,the children must be able to solve three connectedproblems,this again proves through discrimination of areas there exists thisKind of development,of cognition of space in children.
