Abstract
Research on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has identified a pattern of behavior labelled sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT), characterized by daydreaming, sluggish physical activity, mental confusion, and a lack of mental alertness. In the present study, I estimate genetic and environmental influences on SCT, using Cholesky Decomposition models.
