“…Contralateral delay activity (CDA) is characterised by a negative event-related potential (ERP; time-locked encephalograms) waveform that is sensitive to the number of items maintained in working memory (WM) and persists throughout the retention period (Feldmann-Wustefeld, Vogel, & Awh, 2018). The CDA has become increasingly popular as an index of age-related WM changes (Du, Ji, Chen, Tang, & Han, 2018). However, existing evidence regarding the effects of both age and performance level on CDA amplitudes is equivocal (Jost, Bryck, Vogel, & Mayr, 2011; Sander, Werkle-Bergner, & Lindenberger, 2011; Schwarzkopp, Mayr, & Jost, 2016; Stormer, Li, Heekeren, & Lindenberger, 2013).…”
