AB  - The goal of this article is to critically examine current claims and assumptions 
      about the FN400, an event-related potential (ERP) component which has been 
      related to familiarity memory though some uncertainty exists regarding the 
      cognitive processes captured by the FN400. It is proposed that familiarity can be 
      multiply determined and that an important distinction has to be made between a 
      recent-exposure, relative familiarity mechanism indexed by the FN400 and an 
      absolute/baseline familiarity mechanism being reflected by a coincidental but 
      topographically distinct ERP effect. We suggest a broader conceptualization of 
      the memory processes reflected by the FN400 and propose an unexpected 
      fluency-attribution account of familiarity according to which familiarity results 
      from a fast assessment of ongoing processing fluency relative to previous events 
      or current expectations. The computations underlying fluency attribution may be 
      closely related to those characterizing the relative familiarity mechanism 
      underlying the FN400. We also argue that concerted activation of the perirhinal 
      cortex (PrC) and the lateral prefrontal cortex (PFC) plays a pivotal role for 
      fluency attributions and the generation of the FN400.
