Resumen	The single-blind ABA design combines the three-phase reversal logic of the ABA single-subject design — baseline (A1), intervention (B), and withdrawal (A2) — with single-blind masking, in which outcome assessors are kept unaware of the current phase or treatment condition while the participant and intervention team remain aware. This blinding reduces observer bias in behavioral measurement across the three phases.	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.
