cognitive-motor slowing
I think the best word for "rallentamento" is "slowing".
Some examples:
"While the cognitive-motor slowing associated with hypoglycemia is well documented, ... "
"Cognitive and motor slowing in Alzheimer's disease and geriatric depression." {Title of an article}
"Cognitive motor slowing and speech or work difficulty are seen only in a minimal percentage of patients ... "
To be honest, I don't find as many hits for this in google as I would like, but I still think it's a valid way to say this.

psychomotor retardation/impairment
Ciao Shera Lyn, ideo-motorio (dell'ideazione, cioè del pensiero, e del movimento) è solo un altro modo (meno diffuso) per dire psico-motorio, e la traduzione standard è questa.
Psychomotor retardation (also known as "psychomotor impairment" or "motormental retardation") involves a slowing-down of thought and a reduction of physical movements in an individual. Psychomotor retardation can cause a visible slowing of physical and emotional reactions, including speech and affect.[1] This is most-commonly seen in people with major depression and in the depressed phase of bipolar disorder;[2] it is also associated with the adverse effects of certain drugs, such as benzodiazepines, cannabis and antipsychotics.[3] Particularly in an inpatient setting, psychomotor retardation may require increased nursing care to ensure adequate food and fluid intake and sufficient personal care. Informed consent for treatment is more difficult to achieve in the presence of this condition.

and, btw, it is particularly important to notice that what happens is by no means limited to the strictly cognitive side of it

: Do you have any support or evidence showing that the phrase (not the separate words) is commonly used? I find only 3 examples online, and they are all poorly written translations from another language.

: Since the slowing down is "lieve", maybe "slightly sluggish...". Bravo, Potra!

: Hi Potra. See luskie's answer (and mine): examples and explanations are provided. "An idea" and "I don't think it's a bad fit" aren't enough; you need to support your reply with explanations and examples. Can you provide any?

it could be sluggish cognitive-motor capacity, I honestly don't think it's a bad fit
