Children aged 5 to 7 years and adults were presented with a set of nine questions, six of which were bizarre in so far as they involved making semantically anomalous comparisons. In one condition the subjects were simply asked the questions whereas in the other condition they were asked to judge whether the questions made sense. The results of the study confirm and extend previous research which had shown that children will answer bizarre questions. This study showed that adults will also answer such questions and, like children, are prepared to justify their answers. Both adults and children, however, when asked to judge whether questions make sense are able to do this with reasonable accuracy.
