The objective of the present study was to examine the relationship between sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT), subtypes of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and anxiety disorders (AnxDs). One hundred and forty-one children (90 males, 51 females) aged 7-13 years were assigned to four groups, i.e., referred children with comorbid AnxDs and ADHD (n = 25), ADHD (n = 39), AnxDs (n = 41), and nonreferred controls (n = 36). Furthermore we explored the association between SCT and several neurocognitive measures (reaction time, verbal memory, and spatial memory). Diagnoses were established using Kiddie-SADS P/L. SCT was assessed using a 17-item mother-reported questionnaire. SCT correlated significantly with inattentiveness, regardless of the subtype of ADHD. Furthermore, we found significant differences in the levels of SCT among the four groups, with the highest SCT scores observed in the comorbid group. SCT correlated with variability in spatial memory; in contrast, there was no correlation between SCT and reaction time.
本研究旨在探讨 sluggish cognitive tempo（SCT）与注意力缺陷/多动障碍（ADHD）亚型和焦虑障碍（AnxDs）之间的关系。141 名 7-13 岁的儿童（90 名男性，51 名女性）被分为四组，即伴有共病 AnxDs 和 ADHD 的被转介儿童（n=25）、ADHD（n=39）、AnxDs（n=41）和非转介对照组（n=36）。此外，我们还探讨了 SCT 与几种神经认知测量（反应时间、言语记忆和空间记忆）之间的关系。使用 Kiddie-SADS P/L 进行诊断。使用 17 项母亲报告问卷评估 SCT。SCT 与注意力不集中显著相关，无论 ADHD 的亚型如何。此外，我们发现四组之间的 SCT 水平存在显著差异，共病组的 SCT 评分最高。SCT 与空间记忆的变异性相关；相比之下，SCT 与反应时间之间没有相关性。
