Four variables (typicality, family resemblance, familiarity, and associative frequency) were measured for examples of natural categories. According to Rosch, typicality is the measure of goodness-of-example rated by subjects, and family resemblance reflects the degree of having attributes common within the category. Eight categories were selected for this study : mushi (insect), tori (bird), doubutu (animal), yasai (vegitable), norimono (vehicle), dougu (tool), kagu (furniture), and kudamono (fruit), and 50-55 examples were chosen for each category from the association list of National Language Research Institute (1981). Correlations and partial-correlations among the four variables were calculated, and their causal relation was inferred. Aa a result, it was suggested that family resemblance determines typicality, and both typicality and familiarity determine associative frequency.
