Competence and Talent in Verbal Riddle Comprehension
Fowles, Barbara; Glanz, Marcia E.
Journal of Child Language, 4, 3, 433-52, Oct 77

Three cognitive factors seemed to determine level of riddle competence. Implications concern the relationship of riddle competence to reading ability and metalinguistic facility. (CHK)
