Résumé	A factorial single-subject experimental design applies the logic of factorial experiments — manipulating two or more independent variables simultaneously to study main effects and interactions — within a single-subject (N=1 or small N) repeated-measures framework. Instead of comparing groups, the same individual serves as their own control across systematically varied conditions, enabling fine-grained analysis of how multiple treatment components combine to influence behavior or clinical outcomes.	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.
