Sintesi	A double-blind single-subject experimental design applies systematic masking — concealing treatment assignment from both the participant and the outcome assessor — within a within-person repeated-measures framework. It is used when researchers need strong causal inference about an intervention's effect on a single individual while guarding against placebo responses and observer bias. Particularly prominent in pharmacological, behavioral, and clinical rehabilitation research.	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.
