To explore the performance of children in the two kinds of conditions: explanation condition and prediction condition, this study investigated the difference of the two conditions by the unexpected location task. The conclusions are as follows: Firstly, the grades that the children in 57-59-month-old get on the question that whether they can explain the reasons correctly in prediction condition are superior to the grades that they get in explanation condition. Secondly, specific reasons of the subjects differ in distinct conditions. The content of concrete wrong answers mainly concentrates on the two kinds of answers: the realistic location or have been moved and the need of desire of the protagonist.
