Résumé	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.	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.
