The extended generate-recognize model and the two-cue model (Bellezza & Karadogan, 2009) can be used to describe data from the recall-recognition paradigm. The two models utilize the encoding specificity principle (Tulving & Thomson, 1973). The extended generate-organize model assumes recall and recognition are two separate cognitive stages. However, the two-cue model assumes recall is accompanied by recognition, a process called "direct retrieval" (Jacoby, 1991; Jacoby, 1998; Conway & Pleydell-Pearce, 2000). Two experiments were conducted to determine which model is superior. The results of the first experiment indicated both models fit the data well. In the second experiment, the extended generate-recognize model was marginally superior, but, the two-cue model fit poorly. It is concluded the extended generate-recognize model holds more promise in explaining paired-associate learning than does the two-cue model.
