abstract = {Metacognitive accuracy describes the degree of overlap
between the subjective perception of one's decision accuracy
(i.e. confidence) and objectively observed performance. With
older age, the need for accurate metacognitive evaluation
increases; however, error detection rates typically
decrease. We investigated the effect of ageing on
metacognitive accuracy using event-related potentials (ERPs)
reflecting error detection and confidence: the error/correct
negativity (Ne/c) and the error/correct positivity (Pe/c).
Sixty-five healthy adults (20 to 76 years) completed a
complex Flanker task and provided confidence ratings. We
found that metacognitive accuracy declined with age beyond
the expected decline in task performance, while the adaptive
adjustment of behaviour was well preserved. Pe amplitudes
following errors varied by confidence rating, but they did
not mirror the reduction in metacognitive accuracy. Ne
amplitudes decreased with age for low confidence errors. The
results suggest that age-related difficulties in
metacognitive evaluation could be related to an impaired
integration of decision accuracy and confidence information
processing. Ultimately, training the metacognitive
evaluation of fundamental decisions in older adults might
constitute a promising endeavour.},
