“…Since the range of semantic phenomena affecting the N400 is extremely broad, a unified theoretical account of the N400 as a marker of semantic processing is still missing (Rabovsky, Hansen, & McClelland, 2018;Delogu, Brouwer, & Crocker, 2019;Eddine, Brothers, & Kuperberg, 2022;Šoškić, Jovanović, Styles, Kappenman, & Ković, 2022) . However, crucially for our focus, a number of previous studies found that the time range of the N400 can be modulated by various types of aspects of semantic processing of individual entities -including the ones modulated in our experiment: categorical information (Bruera & Poesio, 2022) ; face familiarity, since a familiarity-induced counterpart of the N400, the FN400, has also been observed (Curran & Hancock, 2007) (although it's not clear whether the two are actually functionally identical or not (Voss & Federmeier, 2011;Bridger, Bader, Kriukova, Unger, & Mecklinger, 2012;Leynes, Bruett, Krizan, & Veloso, 2017)) ; and additionally, the difference between proper names and common nouns (Proverbio, Lilli, Semenza, & Zani, 2001;Proverbio, Mariani, Zani, & Adorni, 2009;Adorni, Manfredi, & Proverbio, 2014;Sulpizio & Job, 2018) .…”
