Joke Comprehension is a cognitive construct in developmental psycholinguistics that refers to the ability of children to perceive, interpret, and understand the incongruity-resolution or false信念 mechanisms underlying humorous stimuli, distinguishing it from general language comprehension by its reliance on metarepresentational awareness and theory of mind.
