Through the research, the researcher finds that 56% of the children who were interviewed can make a definition of the accidents by describing the reason, the consequence or the whole process of a special accident, 58% of them can only answer one aspect of the reasons which will cause the accident, and 75% of them know the possible consequence. Finally, 62% of them can rightly identify the dangerous scenes. Besides that, the researcher also finds that children's cognition of accidents doesn't have obvious difference between different gender, but have obvious difference between different age, different kindergarten and different accident.On this basis, the researcher generalizes the aforesaid features and reaches a conclusion that the children's cognition of accidents is affected by the development level of their thoughts, their life experience and the education they received.
