Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The investigators are conducting a study to compare the self-reports of executive functions (that is to say, what role cognitive processes such as working memory and attention) in persons with Parkinson's Disease to the reports of executive functions completed by their significant others.

To conduct this study, the investigators need the participation of persons who are diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease and their significant others.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between the self-reported executive functions (EFs) in persons with Parkinsons disease (PD) and their significant others. Executive functions include basic cognitive processes such as attention, inhibition, working memory, and cognitive flexibility. As this proposed study will test not only cognitive functioning, but specific aspects of it (i.e., EFs) without excluding persons with PD who have identified cognitive impairments, outcomes gathered could provide valuable information to better assist all types of persons with PD. Comparing their self-reported EFs to the EF ratings completedy by their signifiant others can help determine if a disparity exists between self-perceptions and actual observed EF abilties. This study would assess EFs through inhibition responses of participants via computerized versions the Comprehensive Executive Function Inventory-Adult Self-Report and Observer forms.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* For persons with PD,confirmed diagnosis of PD) For significant others - relationship with person with PD

Exclusion Criteria

* any known cognitive disorders other than those associated with PD
* impairments in vision that would affect their ability to safely participate in the study
* recent history of neuromuscular injury/ damage that could affect their ability to complete the CEFI
* the participant will be excluded if he or she is unable to follow commands well enough to complete the CEFI
