Interestingly, I sensed that the girl did not really understand certain changes which had been brought about in her. Doubtless she still thought herself the identical girl who had been placed in the pens. Certain of these changes, mostly in movements, and ways of holding the body, are, sometimes, unconscious concomitants of the training of the girl; they accompany, as pleasant consequences, a latent value, other forms of training which have rather different manifest objectives. An obvious example is the stimulation-chamber training which is overtly concerned with honing a physical and psychological responsiveness to surface sensation; this responsiveness, however, is reflected in the entire attitude, and expressions, of the girl.
