Résumé	The crossover multiple baseline design is a single-case experimental design (SCED) that layers crossover sequencing onto a multiple baseline structure. Across two or more tiers — participants, behaviors, or settings — baselines are staggered in time; then treatments are introduced and later reversed or alternated across tiers, so each tier acts as both a treatment and a control unit. The design provides within-subject replication while controlling for time-related confounds.	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.
