“…Interpreted within the context of dual-process models, an early (300-500 ms post-stimulus) old/new effect has been linked to familiarity and is assumed to evolve from an attenuation of a frontal N400-like component for old items [14,15,39,41,56], whereas the enhancement of a late positive component (400-800 ms), typically, maximal at left parietal regions (but see, e.g. [69] for a spatially widespread effect) is held to index recollection [3,46,51,65,[72][73][74]76]. For example, Curran [15] reported that while both studied words and similar words (switched plurality between study and test) showed the frontal effect, only studied words were associated with the parietal effect.…”
