Abstract

The Cats‐and‐Dogs test: A tool to identify visuoperceptual deficits in Parkinson's disease

Highlights

  • There was no difference in the control task between PD patients and controls

  • We present pilot data suggesting that identifying skewed images in the Cats-and-Dogs test is a sensitive measure of visuoperception in early-stage PD, with greater sensitivity than standard cognitive and visuospatial tests
