Getting it: human event-related brain response to jokes in good and poor comprehenders
@article{Coulson2001GettingIH, title={Getting it: human event-related brain response to jokes in good and poor comprehenders}, author={S. Coulson and M. Kutas}, journal={Neuroscience Letters}, year={2001}, volume={316}, pages={71-74} }
Joke comprehension has been decomposed into surprise registration followed by a coherence stage, involving frame-shifting (retrieving a new frame from long-term memory to reinterpret information in working memory). We examined this view by recording event-related brain potentials (ERPs) from adults reading one-line jokes or non-joke controls with equally unexpected endings. Joke and non-joke ERPs differed in several respects depending on participants' ability to get the joke and contextual… CONTINUE READING
