Final answer:
Option D, which discusses whether something is technically part of a category, does NOT correlate with prototype effects. Prototype effects are more about how representative or typical certain items are within a given category than about strict category boundaries. Option D is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Prototype effect refers to cognitive behavior where some members of a category are seen as more representative or 'typical' than others. These members are known as prototypes and hold features most commonly associated with that category. For instance, when you think of a bird, a robin might come to mind, as it is a prototypical example for many people.
Considering the options provided:
A. Things with fewer features in common with other category members are typically less prototypical, not more.
B. People’s reaction times to classifying something into a category are related to how prototypical an item is perceived.
C. Prototypical things being learned first in development is a characteristic associated with prototype effects.
D. Saying something technically is or is not a part of a category doesn't correlate strongly with the prototype effect since it is about representativeness within the category, not strict category membership.
Therefore, option D is the one that does NOT correlate with Prototype effects. Prototype effects are more concerned with subjective perceptions of categorical centrality than with the technical boundaries of category membership.
