effects of primary and secondary morphological Family Size in monolingual and bilingual word processing
Journal of Memory and Language, 2014Co-Authors: Kimberley Mulder, Robert Schreuder, Ton Dijkstra, R H BaayenAbstract:Abstract This study investigated primary and secondary morphological Family Size effects in monolingual and bilingual processing, combining experimentation with computational modeling. Family Size effects were investigated in an English lexical decision task for Dutch–English bilinguals and English monolinguals using the same materials. To account for the possibility that Family Size effects may only show up in words that resemble words in the native language of the bilinguals, the materials included, in addition to purely English items, Dutch–English cognates (identical and non-identical in form). As expected, the monolingual data revealed facilitatory effects of English primary Family Size. Moreover, while the monolingual data did not show a main effect of cognate status, only form-identical cognates revealed an inhibitory effect of English secondary Family Size. The bilingual data showed stronger facilitation for identical cognates, but as for monolinguals, this effect was attenuated for words with a large secondary Family Size. In all, the Dutch–English primary and secondary Family Size effects in bilinguals were strikingly similar to those of monolinguals. Computational simulations suggest that the primary and secondary Family Size effects can be understood in terms of discriminative learning of the English lexicon.

Effects of morphological Family Size for young readers
British Journal of Development Psychology, 2011Co-Authors: Kors Perdijk, Robert Schreuder, R. Harald Baayen, Ludo VerhoevenAbstract:Dutch children, from the second and fourth grade of primary school, were each given a visual lexical decision test on 210 Dutch monomorphemic words. After removing words not recognized by a majority of the younger group, (lexical) decisions were analysed by mixed-model regression methods to see whether morphological Family Size influenced decision times over and above several other covariates. The effect of morphological Family Size on decision time was mixed: larger families led to significantly faster decision times for the second graders but not for the fourth graders. Since facilitative effects on decision times had been found for adults, we offer a developmental account to explain the absence of an effect of Family Size on decision times for fourth graders.

effects of Family Size for complex words
Journal of Memory and Language, 2000Co-Authors: Raymond Bertram, Harald R Baayen, Robert SchreuderAbstract:Abstract Schreuder and Baayen (1997) reported that in visual lexical decision, response latencies to a simplex noun are shorter when this noun has a large morphological Family, i.e., when it appears as a constituent in a large number of derived words and compounds. The present study addresses the question of whether the Family Size of the base word of a complex word likewise affects lexical processing. Six experiments are reported that show that Family Size indeed plays a role for both inflected and derived words. Posthoc analyses show that the effect of Family Size is driven by the semantically transparent Family members and that this effect is further constrained by semantic selection restrictions of the affix in the target word.

Family Size AND DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS IN ORTHODOX JEWISH WOMEN
Journal of Psychiatric Research, 1993Co-Authors: Kate Miriam Loewenthal, Vivienne GoldblattAbstract:Abstract Family Size, religiosity and contextually-assessed stress were examined in relation to 11 symptoms of depression in Jewish women. Some indices of Family Size related to the absence of some symptoms. Notably, having pre-adult children was associated with absence of hopelessness. Religiosity and Family Size were highly confounded but the effects of the two did differ. Religiosity related to the absence of several symptoms: these were generally different from the symptoms associated with low Family Size. The data show that the associations between Family Size and religiosity, and depressive symptoms, cannot be explained in terms of lowered levels of stress.

Family Size and Educational Attainment: Cousins, Contexts, and Compensation
European Journal of Population, 2019Co-Authors: Ea Hoppe Blaabæk, Mads Meier Jæger, Joseph MolitorisAbstract:This paper analyses the effect of Family Size on children’s educational attainment using a new research design that combines fixed effects and instrumental variable (IV) approaches. We use (a) data on first cousins who belong to the same extended Family but to different nuclear families to control for extended Family fixed effects and (b) variation in in-married spouses’ number of siblings (a proxy for their fecundity and preferences) as an IV for variation in Family Size within extended families. We find that Family Size has a negative causal effect on educational attainment and, moreover, that the negative effect is smaller in families with stronger social ties. Our results suggest that contextual characteristics outside the nuclear Family moderate the negative effect of Family Size on children’s educational attainment.
