Abstract: The research discussed the development of children's classification ability based on "similarity" and factors affecting the result of classification.The subjects were children whose age ranged from 4 to 9.Six stimulating pictures were used as testing objects.In each pair of the pictures there might be zero,one or two same objects.Some of the pictures were totally stimulating and others were gradually stimulating,either with examples or without examples.The results were shown as follows:(1)With the ages increasing,children's ability of classification based on "similarity" improved.(2)The result of the classification mode that used target pictures was obviously better than that of free classification mode.(3)Those who were tested in gradually stimulating mode achieved better grades than those involved in totally stimulating mode.

Key words: children, classification ability, similarity
