Zusammenfassung	A single-blind single-subject experimental design (SB-SSED) applies a single-blind protocol to an N-of-1 experiment: one individual participant is studied intensively across alternating or sequential phases, and either the participant or the assessor — but not both — is kept unaware of the current treatment condition. This design combines the idiographic power of single-subject methodology with a structured blinding control to reduce performance or assessment bias, and is common in applied behavior analysis, clinical psychology, and rehabilitation research.	The ABAB design is a single-subject experimental methodology that establishes causal control by repeatedly introducing and removing an intervention. A baseline phase (A) is followed by an intervention phase (B), then a return to baseline (A), and a second intervention phase (B), allowing the researcher to demonstrate that observed behavior changes are produced by the intervention rather than by coincidental factors.
