In viewing humorous incongruity and nonhumorous incongruity images, participants in Amir et al.’s (2013) study only showed activation of the mPFC in the humorous incongruity condition, indicating pleasure at “getting” the joke. However, how might this compare to more complicated nonhumorous incongruities, such as riddles? Would you expect similar or dissimilar effects? Design a study in which you examine the impact of humorous (jokes) and nonhumorous incongruities (riddles) on study participants. Include hypothesis, conditions, measures, participants, and expected results.
