Patients (50) with idiopathic Parkinson''s disease were studied with motor and neuropsychologic tests to ascertain whether the severity of motor symptoms was associated with the degree of neuropsychologic deficit. Significant correlations were found between the severity of bradykinesia and impaired performance on tests assessing visual-spatial reasoning and psychomotor speed. More severe tremor was associated with better performance on a spatial orientation memory test. These relationships remained when age, age at onset and self-rated depression were controlled. Cognitive impairment may result from the same subcortical lesions that cause motor symptoms.
