65 male and 65 female subjects rated 32 jokes for funniness and solved 14 visually displayed mental-rotation problems. Subjects with faster mental-rotation times tended to rate the jokes as funnier, which is consistent with previous evidence implicating the right hemisphere in the processing of humor. The hypothesis that right-hemisphere processing speed or problem-solving ability are the common factors in mental rotation and humor processing is discussed. Furthermore, sex differences suggest that gender-differentiating preferences for type of humor and mental-rotation abilities may involve basic cognitive functions.
65名男性和65名女性受试者对32则笑话的有趣程度进行了评分，并解决了14个视觉呈现的心理旋转问题。心理旋转时间较快的受试者往往认为笑话更有趣，这与之前暗示右半球参与幽默处理的证据一致。文中讨论了右半球处理速度或解决问题能力是心理旋转和幽默处理的共同因素这一假设。此外，性别差异表明，在幽默类型和心理旋转能力方面存在的性别差异偏好可能涉及基本认知功能。
