RESUMEN
El Tempo Cognitivo Lento (TCL) se refiere a una discapacidad
atencional caracterizada por síntomas de naturaleza cognitiva
(p. ej., soñar despierto) y motora (p. ej., enlentecimiento).
Como indica el título de su artículo, Bernad y Servera (2016)
pintan un cuadro claro, actualizado, y abarcador del TCL, así
como de sus realidades y controversias. Una buena parte de
mi artículo está dirigido a apoyar sus planteamientos. Discuto
en mi trabajo algunos puntos que no fueron tratados de
lleno por ellos, no porque necesariamente estemos en desacuerdo.
Entiendo que uno de los retos que tenemos los investigadores
es evitar utilizar como indicadores del TCL ítems
que podrían describirse como similares, aunque están expresados
en forma diferente. Esto podría contribuir a un traslape
alto y artificial entre los síntomas de inatención del TDAH y
del TCL. Es necesario, además, estudiar las características sociodemográficas
del TCL con muestras amplias y representativas;
utilizar escalas de evaluación con validez ecológica y
pruebas de ejecución validadas, que proveen diferentes tipos
de información complementaria, para entender mejor la base
neuropsicológica y cognitiva subyacente al TCL y continuar
desarrollando modelos teóricos para conceptuar el TCL. En
relación con este último punto, Bernad y Servera hacen una
valiosa explicación de la conceptuación del TCL como un
constructo transdiagnóstico compatible con el paradigma
del Research Domain Criteria iniciado por el Instituto Nacional
de Salud Mental de EE.UU.
