Abstract: This paper makes a further study of children's ability to predict andidentify spacial positional relationship. Two hundred forty pupils weretested; their ages were between eight and thirteen, they were dividedinto six groups, each group contained 40 pupils. Four kinds ofexperiments, varying in degree of difficulty were made. The resultshowed that perceptual experience of a special stimulative body was animportant factor to accelerate children's ability to recognize space.The pupils' spacial prediction records on their left side were lowerthan those on their right side and opposite sides. This experimentchecked the process of children's spacial cognitive development. Therewere indistinctive quantitative developmental changes between differentages. This phenomenon is identical with our past results.
