Studies demonstrate sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) symptoms to be distinct from inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive dimensions of ADHD. No study has examined SCT within a bi-factor model of ADHD, whereby SCT may form a specific factor distinct from inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity while still fitting within a general ADHD factor, which was the purpose of the current study.
A total of 168 children were recruited from an ADHD clinic. Most (92%) met diagnostic criteria for ADHD. Parents and teachers completed measures of ADHD and SCT.
Although SCT symptoms were strongly associated with inattention, they loaded onto a factor independent of ADHD g. Results were consistent across parent and teacher ratings.
SCT is structurally distinct from inattention as well as from the general ADHD latent symptom structure. Findings support a growing body of research suggesting SCT to be distinct and separate from ADHD.
研究表明，认知速度迟缓（SCT）症状与注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的注意力不集中和多动冲动维度不同。尚无研究在ADHD的双因素模型中检验SCT，即SCT可能形成一个与注意力不集中和多动/冲动不同的特定因素，同时仍符合一般ADHD因素，这是本研究的目的。
从一家ADHD诊所招募了168名儿童。大多数（92%）符合ADHD的诊断标准。家长和教师完成了ADHD和SCT的测量。
尽管SCT症状与注意力不集中密切相关，但它们加载到一个独立于ADHD一般因素的因素上。家长和教师评分的结果一致。
SCT在结构上与注意力不集中以及一般ADHD潜在症状结构不同。研究结果支持越来越多的研究表明SCT与ADHD不同且相互独立。
