Abstract
The present study is concerned with a comparison of Parkinson's disease patients and normal subjects on a number of simple and choice reaction time tasks in accordance with Sternberg's interactive procedures. The results indicated that the motor disorder in Parkinson's disease was at the level of output processing and related to the inability of central mechanisms to select and organize responses. Further, the results suggested that patients had difficulty in formulating complex plans or programmes for action.This publication has 28 references indexed in Scilit:
