Zusammenfassung	A pilot single-subject experimental design (pilot SSED) is a small-scale feasibility trial applied to one or very few individuals, combining the repeated-measurement logic of single-subject experimental design with the explicit preparatory aims of a pilot study. It is used to test an intervention protocol, measurement procedures, and design logistics before committing to a full-scale single-case or group experiment.	The AB design is the simplest single-subject experimental design, consisting of two sequential phases: a baseline phase (A) in which the target behavior is observed under natural conditions without intervention, followed by an intervention phase (B) in which the treatment or manipulation is introduced. Changes in the behavior's level, trend, or variability between phases are used to infer the effect of the intervention on the individual participant.
