While most of us feel confident about whether something is or is not funny, do we find it funny only because we notice our laughter or because of cognitions that we monitor independent of our laughter? Studies of children's humor have demonstrated that jokes or cartoons that pose some moderate level of effort for comprehension are judged to be funnier than those that are either very easily understood or understood only with extreme effort (McGhee, 1976; Zigler, Levine, & Gould, 1966, 1967). It is not clear whether these children (school-aged) were aware of the difficulty they had in understanding the material presented, but this would appear to be a good starting point for studying metacognitive determinants of judgments of funniness.

Research completed in the 1970s by Howard Leventhal and his associates underscores the importance of initiating the study of metacognitive processes in humor. Their data suggest that males and females differ in the information (at least regarding laughter) used to make decisions about funniness. When shown either a slapstick film or cartoons accompanied by a laugh track, both high school (Leventhal & Mace, 1970) and college students (Cupchik & Leventhal, 1974) showed increased laughter, relative to a non-laugh-track condition.
