\begin{abstract}
Using the N-back task, we investigated how memory load influences the
neural activity of the Chinese character cognitive subprocess
(recognition, updating, and maintenance) in Mainland Chinese speakers.
Twenty-seven participants completed the Chinese character N-back
paradigm while having their event-related potentials recorded. The study
employed time and frequency domain analyses of EEG data. Results showed
that accuracy decreased and response times increased with larger N
values. For ERPs, N2pc and P300 amplitudes decreased, and SW amplitude
increased with larger N values. For time frequency analyses, the
desynchronization of alpha oscillations decreased after stimulus onset,
but the synchronization of alpha oscillations increased during the
maintenance phase. The results suggest that greater memory load is
related to a decrease in cognitive resources during updating and an
increase in cognitive resources during information maintenance. Results
of a brain-behavior relevant analysis showed that the ERP indicators in
the maintenance phase predicted behavioral performance.%
