Pilot Single-Subject Experimental Design

A pilot single-subject experimental design (pilot SSED) is a small-scale feasibility trial applied to one or very few individuals, combining the repeated-measurement logic of single-subject experimental design with the explicit preparatory aims of a pilot study. It is used to test an intervention protocol, measurement procedures, and design logistics before committing to a full-scale single-case or group experiment.
