To summarize recent research on sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) and consider the potential relevance of SCT for the field of pediatric psychology.
Literature review.
Recent empirical evidence shows SCT symptoms consisting of sluggish/sleepy and daydreamy behaviors to be distinct from Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms. SCT is associated with psychosocial functioning in children and adolescents, including internalizing symptoms, social withdrawal, and, possibly, academic impairment.
The recent findings reviewed suggest that SCT is an important construct for pediatric psychologists to be aware of and may also be directly useful for the research and practice of pediatric psychology.
总结关于迟钝认知节奏（SCT）的最新研究，并考虑 SCT 对儿科心理学领域的潜在相关性。
文献回顾。
最近的实证证据表明，由迟钝/困倦和白日梦行为组成的 SCT 症状与《精神障碍诊断与统计手册》第四版（DSM-IV）的注意力缺陷/多动障碍（ADHD）症状不同。SCT 与儿童和青少年的心理社会功能有关，包括内化症状、社交退缩，可能还有学业障碍。
综述的最新发现表明，SCT 是儿科心理学家需要注意的一个重要概念，也可能对儿科心理学的研究和实践直接有用。
