Perception of Humor by Regular Class Students and Students with Learning Disabilities or Mild Mental Retardation.
Bruno, Rachelle M.; And Others
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v20 n9 p568-70 Nov 1987
The pilot study investigated receptive and expressive humor in students (total N=54) with learning disabilities, mild mental retardation, or no handicap. Among results were that older learning disabled students were more like mildly retarded students than normal peers; and that learning disabled students had more difficulty understanding phonological jokes than other types.
