Over the past few decades, research on sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) has grown at an exponential rate, with the number of published studies mentioning SCT doubling between 1985 and 2000, doubling again between 2000 and 2010, and doubling again between 2010 and 2014. As Becker described in the review published in this issue, ad hoc measurement of SCT hindered early research, but this began to change in 2009 with the publication of the first rating scale specifically designed to measure SCT and developed using empirically supported principles. In the decade since, Becker's (as well as numerous others') efforts have meaningfully and significantly contributed to improving the measurement of SCT in several ways. His latest review study is an important addition to this line of research. Specifically, in the review article published in this issue, Becker comprehensively searched for measures of SCT and then systematically reviewed the psychometric and other properties of the identified measures.
在过去的几十年里，对迟钝认知节奏（SCT）的研究呈指数级增长，提到 SCT 的已发表研究数量在 1985 年至 2000 年间翻了一番，在 2000 年至 2010 年间又翻了一番，在 2010 年至 2014 年间再次翻了一番。正如 Becker 在本期发表的评论中所描述的，对 SCT 的临时测量阻碍了早期的研究，但这种情况从 2009 年开始改变，当时发布了第一个专门用于测量 SCT 的评分量表，该量表是使用经验支持的原则设计的。在过去的十年中，Becker（以及众多其他人）的努力在多个方面为改进 SCT 的测量做出了有意义和重大的贡献。他的最新综述研究是这一研究领域的重要补充。具体来说，Becker 在本期发表的评论文章中全面搜索了 SCT 的测量方法，然后系统地回顾了所确定的测量方法的心理测量学和其他特性。
