Σύνοψη	The Factorial ABA design embeds a factorial treatment structure within the ABA reversal framework. Rather than testing a single treatment against baseline, the researcher systematically varies two or more independent variables (factors) across treatment phases, using the ABA withdrawal logic to establish experimental control. This makes it possible to examine main effects and interactions among treatment components within a single-case or small-N experimental context.	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.
