SEF and OEF are significantly related in PD. Approximately 64% of non-demented persons with PD accurately reported their EF skill level, while 28% under-reported and 8% over-reported. SEF-OEF discrepancies were predicted by fatigue in the overall sample. Preliminary evidence suggests reduced apathy and fatigue symptoms relate to more under-reporting, while anxiety relates to greater over-reporting. Given the prevalence of these non-motor symptoms in PD, it is important to carefully consider them when assessing EF in PD.
