Σύνοψη	The single-blind ABAB design is a single-case experimental approach that sequences two baseline phases (A) and two intervention phases (B) to demonstrate experimental control over a target behavior, while keeping one party — typically the outcome assessor or the participant — unaware of current phase assignment. This blinding procedure reduces observer bias or demand characteristics, strengthening the internal validity of the reversal logic.	The multiple baseline design is a single-subject experimental design that demonstrates functional control by introducing an intervention at staggered time points across two or more baselines — typically across different behaviors, individuals, or settings. Because no withdrawal of treatment is required, it is especially suitable when the target behavior is irreversible or when removing an effective intervention would be unethical.
