The process whereby a relatively unspecialized T cell acquires specialized features of a cytotoxic T cell. The process by which a precursor cell type acquires characteristics of a more mature T-cell. A T cell is a type of lymphocyte whose definin characteristic is the expression of a T cell receptor complex. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of T cell activation. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of T cell differentiation. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of lymphocyte differentiation. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of cytotoxic T cell differentiation. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of T cell differentiation. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of cytotoxic T cell differentiation.
