Abstract
This paper attempted to study the influence of pre-composition planning time on the pre-composition planning effect by the method of combining natural experiment and laboratory experiment. Our study discovered that the composition form determined the planning time, which in turn influenced the planning effect, which then determined the composition form. This indicated that with both the plan and the external representation, the plan itself played a decisive role in the relations between the limited time for planning and the planning form. A more complicated case about the effect of the external representation emerged when the plan existed, i.e. the external representation is of great significance when there is plenty of time for planning. In contrast, the plan is of greater significance than the external representation when there is not enough time to plan.
