Résumé	A Pilot ABAB design is a small-scale feasibility trial of the ABAB reversal design, conducted with one or a few participants to test whether an intervention produces reliable behavior change under alternating baseline and treatment conditions before committing resources to a larger study. It combines the internal-validity logic of the ABAB reversal with the limited scope and preliminary aims of a pilot investigation.	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.
