AnnotationModels are suggested for the task of recognising 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 (1995), and suggest rather different conclusions to theirs - namely, that older people differ from younger people in both learning and response selection.
