Why does electropositivity first increase from boron to aluminium and then decrease down the group?

Boron is a metalloid, while aluminium is a metal. The size of the aluminium atom is much greater than boron, so electropositivity increases from boron to aluminium. But then electropositivity decreases from aluminium to thallium due to the poor shielding effect of the d10 orbital.
