Σύνοψη	The Blocked ABA Design is a single-subject experimental approach that combines the classic ABA reversal logic (baseline, intervention, withdrawal) with block-based session organization to control for time-related or contextual nuisance variation. By grouping observation sessions into blocks — such as days, weeks, or settings — and ensuring phase transitions align to block boundaries, the design isolates the effect of an intervention on an individual participant's repeated behavior measures more rigorously than an unblocked ABA.	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.
