Abstract:
Although motor impairments have been recognised as a core symptom in people with Parkinson’s Disease (PD; Kalia & Lang, 2015), studies have demonstrated a range of PD-related cognitive deficits, such as language impairments (Goldman & Litvan 2012, Pagonabarraga & Kulisevsky, 2012). More specifically, people with PD show a selective deficit in producing verbs compared to nouns (Auclair-Ouellet et al., 2017). These deficits have been shown with verbal fluency tasks, where people with PD performed worse than healthy participants on action fluency (Signorini & Volpato, 2006). However, no group difference was found for category or letter fluency.

More recently, studies started to differentiate between words that are high or low in action content, ...
