English abstract Parkinson's disease (PD) causes loss of automaticity and impairment in dual task (DT) performance. To investigate the performance and pattern of prioritization of individuals with PD in motor and cognitive DT. An observational, transversal, comparative study assessed 20 individuals with PD between stages 1.5 to 3 of the modified Hoehn and Yahr scale. Performance was assessed during the execution of manual dexterity and sit-to-stand tasks, in a single task or in association with a verbal fluency task. There was a loss of performance in both dual task conditions. The cost of verbal fluency was higher than the cost of manual dexterity function. Individuals with PD showed worse DT performance and prioritized the manual dexterity task. There was no prioritization between sit-to-stand and verbal fluency. These findings suggest that the nature of tasks can influence the prioritization ofdual tasks
