Second, N1 sink reduction in hallucinators was present despite an adequate, well-above chance memory performance across tasks and paradigms, which was comparable to nonhallucinators. Notwithstanding a slightly better performance of nonhallucinators than hallucinators for words during the WM paradigm (i.e., the easiest condition with ceiling effects), the comparable overall performance level across tasks and paradigms indicates that the reduced N1 sink was not merely due to poorer attention or distractability in hallucinators.
