Abstract
For Israeli eighth-grade students of Asian-African origin, achievement decreases as a function of birth order in smallfamilies and increases as a function of birth order in large families. This finding cannot be accounted for by differences in developmental rate or size of birth intervals. It can be accountedfor by considering the effect of external influences, such as schooling, on intellectual development.
