Bilingual language representation and cognitive control effects may reflect the dynamic interactions among the complex learning environment, genotype of the individual, and developing cognitive abilities. In this paper we propose a framework considering such interactions. Specifically, we present a nonlinear, developmentally-oriented perspective in which each individual represents a developmental trajectory in multidimensional space. These trajectories focus on the cognitive ecosystem (and how said ecosystem changes over time) and individual expertise (which affects and is affected by the ecosystem). The interactions between ecosystem and expertise lead to the emergence of a system that is built to handle the communicative needs of the individual.

双语语言表征和认知控制效应可能反映复杂的学习环境、个体基因型和认知能力发展之间的动态相互作用。在本文中，我们提出了一个考虑这种相互作用的框架。具体来说，我们提出了一个非线性的、以发展为导向的视角，其中每个人都代表了多维空间中的发展轨迹。这些轨迹侧重于认知生态系统（以及所述生态系统如何随时间变化）和个人专业知识（影响生态系统并受其影响）。生态系统和专业知识之间的相互作用导致了一个为处理个人交流需求而构建的系统的出现。
