Tiivistelmä	The factorial ABAB design embeds a factorial structure within the classical ABAB reversal framework, enabling a single participant or a small set of participants to experience multiple factor combinations across alternating baseline (A) and treatment (B) phases. By systematically withdrawing and reinstating treatment conditions that vary across two or more factors, the design allows examination of both main effects and interactions at the individual level, providing strong experimental control through within-subject replication.	Single-subject experimental design (SSED) establishes experimental control by repeatedly measuring one individual (or a small number of individuals) across baseline and intervention phases, using the participant as their own control. Instead of comparing groups, it compares the participant's own behavior across conditions over time. Widely used in applied behavior analysis, special education, rehabilitation, and clinical psychology, SSED allows causal inference from small or unique samples where group designs are impractical.
