摘要

In this study, we have examined some issues concerning birth order among the gifted. We have determined gender differences in participation rates among first-borns and single children; examined tendencies towards decreases or increases of participation of first-born and single children from the 80ies until 2003; studied the influence of the Szold Institute giftedness examinations, taken in the Tel Aviv area in grade 2, on the participation rate of first-born in all three cohorts, and compared the age differences of the first-born child when starting the Young Persons’ Institute's courses to the mean age of the new participant in 1982, 1993, and 2003.
