خلاصه	A pilot AB design applies the two-phase baseline-then-intervention structure of the AB single-subject design in an explicitly exploratory or feasibility mode — before committing to a more rigorous reversal or multiple-baseline study. The researcher collects repeated baseline (A) and intervention (B) data from one or a few individuals primarily to test measurement procedures, estimate effect size, verify data stability, and determine whether a stronger single-case design is warranted and feasible.	The ABA design is a single-subject experimental design that demonstrates experimental control through three sequential phases: a baseline phase (A1), an intervention phase (B), and a return-to-baseline withdrawal phase (A2). By removing the intervention in the final phase and observing whether behavior reverts toward baseline levels, researchers establish a functional relationship between the treatment and the target behavior for an individual participant.
