Sintesi	Adaptive single-subject experimental design (adaptive SSED) is an experimental methodology in which a single participant or unit is repeatedly observed under systematically alternated conditions — baseline and intervention — while pre-specified decision rules allow the researcher or clinician to modify treatment parameters, phase lengths, or condition sequences in response to continuously collected data. It merges the internal validity of classical single-case experimental designs with the flexibility of adaptive trial logic, making it especially valuable in clinical, behavioral, and applied settings where individual response trajectories vary substantially.	Single-subject experimental design (SSED) establishes experimental control by repeatedly measuring one individual (or a small number of individuals) across baseline and intervention phases, using the participant as their own control. Instead of comparing groups, it compares the participant's own behavior across conditions over time. Widely used in applied behavior analysis, special education, rehabilitation, and clinical psychology, SSED allows causal inference from small or unique samples where group designs are impractical.
