The authors wish to apologise for an error in the published article. In Figure 3, which displays the main effects of Congruity and Typicality, the ERP waveforms and scalp maps labelled as summed conditions (e.g., Congruent targets: TC + AC) were generated by summing the relevant bins but were not divided by two to compute the average. As a result, the μV amplitudes shown in the figure are twice as large as their true values.

Figure 3. Brainwaves and topographic maps (300–500 ms) of the Congruity and Typicality effects. Upper panel (A): Congruity effect: ERP response to Congruent (black line: (TC + AC)/2) and Incongruent (red line: (TI + AI)/2) targets and the differential topographic map (Incongruent – Congruent). Lower panel (B): Typicality effect: ERP response to Typical (black line: (TC + TI)/2) and Atypical (red line: (AC + AI)/2) targets and the differential topographic map (Atypical – Typical).

This error affects only the visual scaling of the ERP waveforms and scalp maps in Figure 3. It does not affect any statistical analyses or study conclusions. For each experimental condition, trials were averaged prior to analysis. Subsequently, the analyses (i.e., ANOVA and generalized linear mixed-effects models) internally grouped and averaged these condition-level observations according to factor levels (e.g., Congruent); therefore, additional pre-averaging was unnecessary.

Below is a corrected version of Figure 3, showing appropriately scaled amplitudes for clarity.
