Memory perception and strategy use in Parkinson's disease

Self-awareness of memory function in Parkinson's disease in relation to mood and symptom severity

“…Taking into account relatively well preserved selfawareness of memory problems in PD, poor awareness of the specificity of memory problems in PD in patients' proxies and insufficient use of metacognitive strategies in PD (Johnson et al, 2005), studies of cognitive training programmes aimed at improving use of internal and external memory strategies in PD should be undertaken to determine their efficacy.…”

“…Comparison of metamemory questionnaire data with memory performance on a variety of tasks showed that non-demented PD patients are relatively aware of subtle memory deficits (Ivory et al, 1999). At the same time, they use less memory strategies than healthy subjects (Johnson, Pollard, Vernon, Tomes, & Jog, 2005).…”

Planning and task management in Parkinson's disease: Differential emphasis in dual-task performance

“…In particular, PD patients have problems with planning (Johnson et al, 2005;Lewis et al, 2003;Owen et al, 1995), prospective memory (Kliegel et al, 2005), working memory (Dagher et al, 2001;Lewis et al, 2005) and setshifting (Cools et al, 2001;Gauntlett-Gilbert et al, 1999;Woodward et al, 2002). These deficits have been demonstrated using a wide variety of tasks, a common one being the Tower of London along with adaptations and expansions of it that included novel conditions (Culbertson et al, 2004;Dagher et al, 2001;Owen et al, 1995).…”

Effects of a Multimodal Exercise Program on Clinical, Functional Mobility and Cognitive Parameters of Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease Patients

“…People with PD do report declarative memory loss but they do not report implicit memory loss, which suggests a problem of memorization strategy (Appollonio et al, 1994). To retrieve some information, people can use declarative memory, which requires conscious effort and attention, or implicit memory (typically unconscious), which is automatically accessed (Johnson et al, 2005). Due to degeneration of dopaminergic and cholinergic neurons in the nigrostriatal pathway in PD, cognitive behavior and the control of motor action are impaired.…”
