Abstract: Using a computer program designed by us,we studied how college students solved the problem on rule discovery.We concentrated on thinking strategies in processing of hypothesis formation,experiment design and experiment performance.The results showed that the effects of rule difference were significant and the effects of feedback difference were not significant,the heuristics were most important strategies in hypothesis testing processing.

Key words: problem solving, hypothesis testing, heuristics
