Age Reversal Accident - how will this affect the person?

+0
−0

In the future the technology to reverse one's age exists. We can make people younger but not older. One day there is an accident, and someone is reverted to a ten year old, instead of reverting to their mid twenties.

Is it realistic to suppose that the differences between child and adult brains are so that making an adult into a child will leave their memories confused and distorted? As opposed to simply reverting an adult into a youthful state (turning a fifty year old into a twenty five year old)? How is this likely to manifest? For example, would it be like a weird sort of childhood dementia which improves with time?
