Many studies demonstrated that schematic induction might promote analogical transfer. This study based on the prior studies was to explore that how schematic induction influenced children's analogical transfer. This study was divided into three parts.The first part firstly introduced the indication of schematic induction from mental mechanism and measure index and then retrospect and analyzed the theory about schematic induction and prior study in analogical transfer.The second part based on the improves of prior studies had three studies.Study 1 was aimed to examine whether children had the ability of analogical transfer, and from which years old children formed significant analogical transfer ability. The result demonstrated that children had significant transfer ability, and the transfer ability of children became strong gradually as the age's increase.Study 2 based on the study 1 added another factor that was schematic induction, which was aimed to examine whether children's analogical transfer was influenced by schematic induction. The result demonstrated that children's transfer score in only one source analogy and children's transfer score in one source analogy adding schematic induction hadn't significant difference, which didn't prove the prediction, however, the percent of subject who used transfer method in pre-hint increased, which to some degree indicated that schematic induction had the effect of hint.Study 3 based on the study 2 added another source analogy, which was aimed to examine that whether schematic induction influenced children's analogical transfer on condition of two source analogies. There were two ways of schematic induction. It was aimed to examine which kinds of schematic induction could promote children's analogical transfer better. The result demonstrated that on the condition of two source analogies, adding schematic induction could promote children's analogical transfer. It proved the prediction.The third parts, the future views were discussed.
