Σύνοψη	Pragmatic single-subject experimental design applies the logic of single-case experimentation — repeated measurement, baseline comparison, and phase manipulation — within real-world practice settings rather than controlled laboratories. It allows practitioners and clinicians to rigorously evaluate interventions for individual participants without requiring large samples, making it especially valuable in applied, clinical, and educational contexts where heterogeneity across individuals is high.	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.
