Résumé	The Pragmatic AB Design is a single-case experimental design that collects repeated measurements of one individual or unit across two consecutive phases: a baseline phase (A) with no intervention, followed by an intervention phase (B). Deployed in real-world, clinically feasible conditions rather than tightly controlled laboratory settings, it is widely used in behavioral health, rehabilitation, education, and applied psychology to generate actionable evidence about individual-level treatment effects.	The ABA design is a single-subject experimental design that demonstrates experimental control through three sequential phases: a baseline phase (A1), an intervention phase (B), and a return-to-baseline withdrawal phase (A2). By removing the intervention in the final phase and observing whether behavior reverts toward baseline levels, researchers establish a functional relationship between the treatment and the target behavior for an individual participant.
