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 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.
