I appreciate your insight. I do not know what drives or sustains the peer influence mechanism. Your hunch (that it is related to compatible cognitive developmental levels) is reasonable. I wonder if this has been researched? I’m guessing that there are some Social Psychologists out there who have looked into this. It’s a great question that I’m hoping someone can shed some light upon. Anyone?

These individuals play and learn from each other information which would be otherwise be unattainable from the parents, since there is a mismatch in the cognitive capacity of the child versus the parents.

[But of course, this is my opinion on the matter, so take it with a grain of salt.]
