The Role of Conceptual Tempo and Stimulus Characteristics in Children's Humor Development
Brodzinsky, David M.
Developmental Psychology, 11, 6, 843-850, Nov 75
Boys, ages 6, 8, and 10, were classified with regard to conceptual tempo and were presented with cartoon stimuli varying in cognitive complexity and level of affectivity. The results indicate that reflective subjects generally displayed the highest comprehension scores while impulsive subjects displayed the greatest spontaneous mirth. (JMB)
