Introduction: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurobiological disorder originating in childhood that implies a pattern of attention deficit, hyperactivity and/or impulsivity. ADHD has negative consequences both for young. Recently been proposed that Slow Cognitive Time (SCT) may be a different disorder than ADHD, the same disorder or that they may co-exist. Objective: To perform a narrative review of the medical literature, seeking to collect useful information regarding the relationship between SCT and ADHD, and its impacts on academic performance. Methodology: Topic reviews, systematic reviews, meta-Analyzes, clinical trials, and follow-up studies were identified in English and Spanish with no time limit, including epidemiological and clinical aspects, factors associated with hyperactivity/impulsivity, attention deficit, cognitive and executive functions. Results: The relationship between SCT and ADHD is very complex. Some scientific research indicates that it is the same disorder or that they may co-exist. It is also suggested that high levels of SCT and ADHD could be part of a new attention disorder, however more research is needed to verify its association with ADHD. Conclusion: Despite efforts to improve the understanding, evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of ADHD, there are still issues to be resolved, with evaluation and diagnosis probably being one of the great dilemmas.
