Abstract: Schemes and capability of representation-manipulating are two important factors of children's capability of problem-solving.Their interaction decide the variable perform of children's insight problem-solving.We examined 270 subjects at different ages on their performance on a classical insight problem called T Puzzle.The results showed: (1) 5 grade prime school and-grade junior high school subjects showed a better performance on T Puzzle task than-grade high school ones.(2) The cue type with greater representation loading doesn't facilitate low grade children's problem solving.(3) Elder subject showed greater performance on multiple cues,but the cues related to scheme has not help to improve their achievement.This pattern reflects that schemes using and capability of representation-manipulating have developmental simultaneity.

Key words: cues, insight problem solving, scheme-using level, capability of representation-manipulating
