title: On a recognition task in which some distractors were half-familiar.
abstract: Models are suggested for the task of recognizing word-pairs, where the distractors may be pairs of new words, or may be a new word paired with a previously-seen word. These models are relevant to an experiment recently reported by Isingrini et al., and suggest rather different conclusions to theirs--namely, that the elderly differ from the young in both learning and response selection.
