Editorial: A Review of Sluggish Cognitive Tempo Measures That Will Benefit Researchers and Clinicians

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 2014.1 As Dr. Becker2 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.
