I think decant may have been used because it means to pour without disturbance. Which falls in line with the conforming and homogeneous culture they are trying to create in that factory. Their culture does not want disturbance, "square pegs in round holes" are frowned upon.

In the beginning of chapter 2, "NEO-PAVLOVIAN CONDITIONING ROOMS" stands out to me. The word "neo" means new, and "pavlovian" means relating to classical conditioning as described by I. P. Pavlov.
After doing a little research I found that this guy, Ivan Petrovich Pavlov was a Russian physiologist known primarily for his work in classical conditioning. He was inspired to forsake his Orthodox Christian background and pursue a scientific career by D. I. Pisarev, a literary critique and natural science advocate of the time and I. M. Sechenov, a Russian physiologist, whom Pavlov described as 'The father of physiology'.
This is really important to know because this is what the nurses are doing to the babies in later paragraphs; they are conditioned through electroshock to shun books and flowers. if they try getting near them, they'll get zapped.

"Now turn them so that they can see the flowers and books." (12) Looking up the word "turned" I found it has two meanings: 1. move or cause to move in a circular direction wholly or partly around an axis or point and 2. change in nature, state, form, or color; become. Maybe the second meaning is being used because their trying to make the babies think and act a certain age at a really young age.
Some more words I didn't know:
Spasmodic: occurring or done in brief, irregular bursts (13)
Indissolubly: not dissoluble; incapable of being dissolved, decomposed, undone, or destroyed (14)
Gratuitous: uncalled for; lacking good reason; unwarranted (14)

Yes, very Pavlovian. You may also want to check out John Watson's work in Operant Conditioning: see https://www.simplypsychology.org/classical-conditioning.html and https://www.simplypsychology.org/operant-conditioning.html#class. Skinner's work, however, may postdate Huxley's work. - Myette

In this connotation, it relates to conditioning. - Myette
