The present thesis investigated age differences in reinforcement learning and error processing across the lifespan using an electrophysiological approach. The theoretical framework of this research is based on the so-called dopamine hypothesis of aging, which assumes that age-related impairments in learning and error processing are the result of deficits in the function of the midbrain dopamine system in older adults (Nieuwenhuis et al., 2002). This account is an extension of a recent theory, which proposes that the ERP correlate of error processing, the error-related negativity (ERN), reflects negative reinforcement learning signals from the dopamine system (Holroyd & Coles 2002). The empirical part of the thesis consists of three experime...
