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.	A factorial single-subject experimental design applies the logic of factorial experiments — manipulating two or more independent variables simultaneously to study main effects and interactions — within a single-subject (N=1 or small N) repeated-measures framework. Instead of comparing groups, the same individual serves as their own control across systematically varied conditions, enabling fine-grained analysis of how multiple treatment components combine to influence behavior or clinical outcomes.
