Signal detection theory (SDT) and two-high threshold models (2HT) are often used to analyze accuracy data in recognition memory paradigms. However, when reaction times (RTs) and/or confidence levels (CLs) are also measured, they usually are analyzed separately or not at all as dependent variables (DVs). We propose a new approach to include these variables based on multinomial processing tree models for discrete and continuous variables (MPT-DC) with the aim to compare fits of SDT and 2HT models. Using Juola et al.'s (2019, Memory & Cognition, 47[4], 855–876) data we have found that including CLs and RTs reduces the standard errors of parameter estimates and accounts for interactions among accuracy, CLs, and RTs that classical versions of SDT and 2HT models do not. In addition, according to the simulations, there is an increase in the proportion of correct model selections when relevant DV are included. We highlight the methodological and substantive advantages of MPT-DC in the disentanglement of contributing processes in recognition memory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
