Journal of Neuropsychology, EarlyView.
Abstract People with Parkinson disease (PD) after surgery for deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN‐DBS) often decline in animal fluency due to impairments in executive functions and/or language. Item‐based measures of animal fluency may shed light on the specific nature of this decline, and into the strategies used when ...
