A neuropsychological dataset from 59 patients with idiopathic Parkinson's Disease, assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and a battery of tests covering attention, memory, visuospatial abilities, language, and executive functions. The data was collected by Laura Alonso-Recio and last updated in October 2025. Tests were grouped according to the dual syndrome hypothesis to define anterior/executive and posterior/memory-visuospatial impairment profiles.
Use Cases
- Analyzing the capacity of the MoCA test to detect cognitive impairment in Parkinson's Disease based on the described patient assessments.
- Identifying anterior (attention-executive) and posterior (memory-visuospatial) cognitive profiles based on the dual syndrome hypothesis framework mentioned in the description.
- Comparing performance across specific cognitive domains (attention/working memory, memory, visuospatial abilities, language, executive functions) as outlined in the test battery.
- Developing models to predict cognitive impairment subtypes in Parkinson's Disease using the described neuropsychological test results.
Strengths
- Includes data from 59 patients with idiopathic Parkinson's Disease.
- Assessment follows recommendations from the Movement Disorder Society (MDS) for evaluating cognitive impairment in PD.
- Covers five specific cognitive domains: attention/working memory, memory, visuospatial abilities, language, and executive functions.
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
