Σύνοψη	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 ABA design is a single-subject experimental design that demonstrates experimental control through three sequential phases: a baseline phase (A1), an intervention phase (B), and a return-to-baseline withdrawal phase (A2). By removing the intervention in the final phase and observing whether behavior reverts toward baseline levels, researchers establish a functional relationship between the treatment and the target behavior for an individual participant.
