Abstract: By using problem-solving paradigm, the influence of learning ability and the knowledge on the analogical problem solving and strategy using of 90 children in primary 4 was explored.The result indicated that learning ability but knowledge had a proudly influence on the quality of the analogical problem solving, neither learning ability nor knowledge influenced the speed of the analogical problem solving.Children of different learning ability had a signif icant difference on the distribut ion and the strategy using.It was also found that there is a significant difference on the strategy between the children of the varying knowledge.
