Experiment Protocol: Evaluating Escape Artist Skills under Tickling Stimuli
Participant: Elli, a volunteer rope bunny with claimed expertise in escape artistry.
Background: Preliminary testing on the tickle table revealed Elli's heightened sensitivity to heavy touch tickling stimuli.
Methodology:
Baseline Challenge: Elli was secured in a hogtie position on the floor using black tape tightly wound around her body to establish a controlled environment.
Mouth Packing and Gagging: A large sponge was inserted into Elli's mouth to prevent intelligible speech and minimize the risk of swallowing hazards. The mouth packing was secured with black tape, wound around her face to ensure a tight seal.
Distraction and Challenge: To distract Elli and increase the difficulty of the task, her bare feet were bound together in a standard hogtie fashion, with big toes secured, and her soles subjected to gargalesis stimulation (gargalesis tickling).
Objective: The primary objective of this experiment was to assess Elli's escape artist skills by challenging her to remove the gag and mouth packing, thereby restoring intelligible speech.
Outcome Measures: Success was defined as Elli's ability to push the sponge out of her mouth and remove the tape, resulting in intelligible speech. Failure was determined by her inability to achieve this outcome.
实验规程： 在挠痒刺激下评估逃脱艺术家的技能
参与者： 埃利（Elli），一只声称擅长逃脱艺术的志愿者。
背景： 在挠痒痒台上进行的初步测试表明，埃利对重触挠痒痒刺激非常敏感。
方法：
基线挑战：用黑色胶带紧紧缠绕埃利的身体，将她捆绑在地板上，以建立一个受控环境。
塞嘴和堵嘴： 将一块大海绵塞进埃利的嘴里，以防止她说话，并将吞咽危险降至最低。口腔填料用黑色胶带固定，缠绕在她的脸上以确保密封。
分散注意力和挑战：为了分散埃利的注意力并增加任务的难度，以标准的捆绑方式将她赤裸的双脚捆绑在一起，固定住大脚趾，并对她的脚底进行搔痒刺激（搔龈）。
实验目的 本实验的主要目的是评估埃利的逃生技能，挑战她如何取下口塞和口腔包装，从而恢复能听懂的语言。
结果测量： 成功的定义是埃利能够将海绵从口中挤出并撕下胶带，从而能够清晰地说话。
