Abstract: Objective: The present study aims to explore the neuropsychological features of children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Sluggish Cognitive Tempo (SCT). Methods: Fifty-eight children with ADHD+SCT, 480 children with ADHD-SCT, and 105 healthy controls (HC) were recruited. Neuropsychological tests and the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) were used. Results: The ADHD+SCT group performed worse than the HC in processing speed (p =.005), set-shifting (p =.0003), interference control (p =.00014), and visual memory (p =.007), while the ADHD-SCT group performed worse than the HC in sustained attention measurements (all p <.0001). The ADHD+SCT group scored higher than the ADHD-SCT group in the following factors from BRIEF: plan/organize (p =.00083), working memory (p <.001), and shift (p =.0054). Conclusion: Our results indicated that SCT symptoms are associated with worse executive function in children with ADHD except for sustained attention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
