最近的研究表明，个体差异的积极方面可能会通过一种叫做互利主义的机制出现或扩大。Kievit et al.（2017）表明，互利主义模型的潜在变化分数实现优于其他模型，证明了词汇和推理在发展过程中的积极相互作用。在这里，我们在一组儿童（N = 227，6-8岁）中复制了这些发现，并在三个方向上扩展了这些发现。首先，纳入了第三波数据，研究结果对替代模型规格具有鲁棒性。其次，模拟表明，具有相似量级和分布特性的数据集原则上可能有利于具有接近100%功效的替代模型。第三，我们发现支持的假设，互动耦合效应更强，自我反馈参数较弱，在年幼的儿童。总之，这些发现重复了Kievit等人的工作。（2017），并进一步支持互利主义支持认知发展的假设。
Recent work suggests that the positive manifold of individual differences may arise, or be amplified, by a mechanism called mutualism. Kievit et al. (2017) showed that a latent change score implementation of the mutualism model outperformed alternative models, demonstrating positive reciprocal interactions between vocabulary and reasoning during development. Here, we replicated these findings in a cohort of children (N = 227, 6-8 years old) and expanded the findings in three directions. First, a third wave of data was included, and the findings were robust to alternative model specifications. Second, a simulation demonstrated that data sets of similar magnitude and distributional properties could have, in principle, favored alternative models with close to 100% power. Third, we found support for the hypothesis that mutualistic-coupling effects are stronger and self-feedback parameters weaker in younger children. Together, these findings replicated the work of Kievit et al. (2017) and further support the hypothesis that mutualism supports cognitive development.
