Zusammenfassung	The adaptive AB design is a single-subject experimental design that retains the two-phase baseline-then-intervention structure of the classic AB design but replaces fixed session-count rules with pre-specified data-driven criteria — such as stability thresholds or trend benchmarks — that determine when to transition between phases. This adaptive logic allows the phase boundary to move in response to the individual participant's actual performance trajectory rather than a predetermined schedule.	The multiple baseline design is a single-subject experimental design that demonstrates functional control by introducing an intervention at staggered time points across two or more baselines — typically across different behaviors, individuals, or settings. Because no withdrawal of treatment is required, it is especially suitable when the target behavior is irreversible or when removing an effective intervention would be unethical.
