The girl who does not age

Fascinating, and very sad. I was more interested in the mental aspects of this phenomena than the purely physical. Apparently, her brain is not developing the various capabilities that we'd associate with ageing, but I wonder if there's still some accumulation of experiences and observations going on that would lead to a more sophisticated view and understanding of the world - greater than what one would get from a normal 16 month old? And although psychoanalytical theory is pretty much shot to hell, I'd still be curious about a practitioner's evaluation of her current and past psychological state(s), (such as oral, anal, etc.).
