Compared the early recollections of 50 first‐borns and 98 later‐borns. The first‐borns mentioned significantly more nonfamily members, illness/injury, hospital/doctor's office in their early recollections than did later‐borns. Later‐borns, on the other hand, mentioned significantly more siblings than did first‐borns. With regard to other variables, there were no significant differences in early recollections of the two groups. Findings were discussed in the context of Adler's personality theory.
