513 adolescent females attending a family planning center administered by the French Movement for Family Planning in Strasburg completed anonymous questionnaires between December 1984-June 1985 to identify the sociological and clinical characteristics of the clinic users. About 80% were 16-19 years old. 314 came unaccompanied to the center, 149 came with a friend, and 25 came with their partner. It was the 1st consultation for 278 respondents. 126 had been coming for less than 1 year, 67 for 1-2 years, 31 for 2-3 years, and 11 for more than 3 years. 83% were students. 312 resided in Strasburg or its suburbs and 201 resided elsewhere. Anonymity was the principal reason why clients travelled long distances to attend the center. 372 knew of the center through friends or sisters, 44 through the media, 40 through school, 11 through parents, and 7 through a doctor. 121 reported that their parents knew they used contraception and 382 that they did not know. 318 preferred a woman doctor for a contraceptive consultation, 180 did not care, and 6 preferred a man. Over half had their 1st menstrual period between the ages of 12 and 13. 172 were virgins at the time of their 1st consultation. The age of 1st intercourse was 14-17 years old for 81% and 15 or 16 for 48%. 155 used no contraception before visiting the center, 114 used withdrawal, 73 used condoms, 20 used spermicides, 38 used oral contraceptives (OCs) prescribed elsewhere, and 9 used other methods. 66% of prescriptions were for standard dosed pills because less than 2 years had passed since menarche, the cycles were irregular, or the client had acne or feared forgetting a pill. At the 3-month follow-up the prescription was changed to a lowdose pill in 43 cases because of side effects, while a low dose pill was changed to standard dose in 20 cases because of acne or forgetting. 24 girls came for a morning after pill and 31 for a pregnancy test. 9 reported they had already had abortions. 163 did not smoke, 152 smoked less than 1/2 pack daily, 150 smoked 1/2-1 pack, and 43 smoked more than 1 pack. 434 had a normal weight for their height and 56 were obese. 33% did not return after their 1st consulatation. Frank hyperlipidemia was rare among the clients tested.

The effect of prism adaptation on movement is typically reduced when the movement at test (prisms off) differs on some dimension from the movement at training (prisms on). Some adaptation is latent, however, and only revealed through further testing in which the movement at training is fully reinstated. Applying a nonlinear attractor dynamic model (Frank, Blau, & Turvey, 2009) to available data (Blau, Stephen, Carello, & Turvey, 2009), we provide evidence for a causal link between the latent (or secondary) aftereffect and an additive force term that is known to account for symmetry breaking. The evidence is discussed in respect to the hypothesis that recalibration aftereffects reflect memory principles (encoding specificity, transfer-appropriate processing) oriented to time-translation invariance-when later testing conserves the conditions of earlier training. Forgetting or reduced adaptation effects follow from the loss of this invariance and are reversed by its reinstatement.
