      abstract     = {With increasing age, cognitive control processes steadily
                      decline. Prior research suggests that healthy older adults
                      have a generally intact performance monitoring system, but
                      show specific deficits in error awareness, i.e., the ability
                      to detect committed errors. We examined the neural
                      processing of errors across the adult lifespan (69
                      participants; age range 20–72 years) by analysing the
                      error (-related) negativity (Ne/ERN) and the error
                      positivity (Pe) using an adapted version of the Go/Nogo
                      task.At a stable overall error rate, higher age was
                      associated with a greater proportion of undetected errors.
                      While the Ne/ERN was associated with the processing of
                      errors in general, the Pe amplitude was modulated by
                      detected errors only. Furthermore, the Pe amplitude for
                      detected errors was significantly smaller in older adults,
                      in contrast to the Ne/ERN amplitude which did not show
                      age-related changes. Structural path models suggested that
                      through those age-related changes in Pe amplitude, an
                      indirect effect on the performance was observed.Our results
                      confirm and extend previous extreme-group based findings
                      about specific deficits in error detection associated with
                      higher age using age as a continuous predictor. Age-related
                      reductions in Pe amplitude, associated with more undetected
                      errors, are independent of early error processing, as
                      evidenced by the preserved Ne/ERN.},
