Σύνοψη	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.	A factorial experiment is an experimental design in which two or more independent variables (factors) are manipulated simultaneously, and every combination of their levels is tested. Introduced by Ronald Fisher in the 1920s–1930s, it is the standard approach whenever a researcher needs to detect not only the main effect of each factor but also whether the effect of one factor depends on the level of another — the interaction effect.
