Little is known about the subjective cognitive complaints of individuals with Parkinson disease (PD). Such complaints have become a topic of interest recently asthey play a role in the diagnosis of neurocognitive disorders. The aim of this preliminary study was to determine whether a sample of nondemented individuals withPD reported significantly more difficulties with multiple elements of cognition than a control sample and to assess the relation between their ratings anddemographics, motor symptom severity, neuropsychological test performance, and measures of depression and anxiety.

“At times difficult, the summer project never failed to interest me. Each week led me to an entirely new world of ideas, and I regret that I had only one summer to work and only one thesis to develop… The fellowship has afforded me a glimpse into the world of professional academic study and research, an experience that has had great influence on my postgraduate aspirations.”
