Abstract：As an important theory in cognitive science, the prototype theory is plausible to use properties to distinguish the central and periphery members in a category. However, there’s no quantitative evidence to support the theory. In this paper, we apply the cognitive property bank including 230,000 “word-property” pairs to validate the theory via 3 categories: bird, fruit and transportation. The results show that in Chinese, the typical members of bird are sparrow and swallow, which share many properties with bird. While the penguin and ostrich share very few properties with bird, especially lacking the key property fly. The data in cognitive property bank basically supports the idea of the prototype theory, but we also notice that the little bird has many properties, which make it available for a typical member in the category. We also distinguish between the tree based ontology and graph based categorization by bipartite graph.
