Fairy psychologists indicated that when an adult is suddenly and forcibly regressed to an infant-like state, their cognitive process enters a "negotiation phase."

During this period, the mind effectively shuts down traditional learning modes and does not operate with the speed typical of either adult or infant brains. Instead, it takes time to assess whether the experience is biologically advantageous or that this whole time, it has deluded the person into adulthood and was still a child.

This phenomenon may explain delayed reactions to"goblinification." Some goblins have come to accept their identity as perpetual infants, while others continue to behave as if they are experiencing the ideal "grown-up life".
