Children’s recognition of slapstick humor is linked to their Theory of Mind
E. Ger, M. M. Daum, et al.
Young children can spot slapstick comedy early on: in a pre-registered study, 4–5-year-olds reliably selected misfortune scenes as funny, and this ability was linked to their Theory of Mind rather than age or basic emotion recognition. The findings suggest toddlers’ understanding of mental states helps them recognize slapstick humor. This research was conducted by Authors present in <Authors> tag.
