AB Objective: Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in Parkinson’s disease (PD) areconsidered as the risk factors for dementia (PDD). Posterior cortically based functions, such as visuospatial andvisuoperceptual (VS-VP) processing, have been described as predictors of PDD. However, no investigations havefocused on the qualitative analysis of the Judgment of Line Orientation Test (JLOT) and the Facial Recognition Test(FRT) in PD-SCD and PD-MCI. The aim of this work was to study the VS-VP errors in JLOT and FRT. Moreover,these variables are considered as predictors of PDD. Method: Forty-two PD patients and 19 controls were evaluatedwith a neuropsychological protocol. Patients were classified as PD-SCD and PD-MCI. Analyses of errors wereconducted following the procedure described by Ska, Poissant, and Joanette (1990). Follow-up assessment wasconducted to a mean of 7.5 years after the baseline. Results: PD-MCI patients showed a poor performance in JLOT andFRT total score and made a greater proportion of severe intraquadrant (QO2) and interquadrant errors (IQO). PD-SCDshowed a poor performance in FRT and made mild errors in JLOT. PD-MCI and QO2/IQO errors were independentrisk factors for PDD during the follow-up. Moreover, the combination of both PD-MCI diagnosis and QO2/IQO errorswas associated with a greater risk. Conclusions: PD-MCI patients presented a greater alteration in VS-VP processingobservable by the presence of severe misjudgments. PD-SCD patients also showed mild difficulties in VS-SP functions.Finally, QO2/IQO errors in PD-MCI are a useful predictor of PDD, more than PD-MCI diagnosis alone.
