Subjective Cognitive Concerns and Global Metacognitive Bias in Prodromal Parkinson's and Parkinson's Disease without Cognitive Impairment

In this episode, host Dr. Scott Sperling and student leader Steven Harris meet with authors Nishaat Mukadam and Dr. Alice Cronin-Golomb to discuss their recent paper, Subjective Cognitive Concerns and Global Metacognitive Bias in Prodromal Parkinson's and Parkinson's Disease without Cognitive Impairment. The authors share insights from their study examining the relationship between subjective cognitive concerns and objective cognitive performance in individuals with Parkinson's disease, prodromal Parkinson's disease, and healthy controls. The conversation highlights changes in metacognitive bias over time, the influence of depression and anxiety on perceptions of cognitive functioning, and the potential implications of these findings for understanding subjective cognitive concerns and supporting early intervention in Parkinson's disease.
