Crossover ABAB Design/Evidence
Method evidence record

Crossover ABAB Design

The crossover ABAB design is a single-subject experimental design that alternates between baseline (A) and intervention (B) conditions twice within the same participant. By withdrawing and reintroducing the treatment, the researcher can demonstrate experimental control: if behavior improves with B and reverts with A, the causal link between the intervention and the outcome is established without a separate control group.
