Abstract

Objective: We examined whether visuospatial deficits in Parkinson disease (PD) can be explained by a domain-general, nonspatial impairment in the sequencing or serial chaining of mental operations.Background: PD has been shown to be associated with impaired visuospatial processing, but the mechanism...
