概要	The double-blind multiple baseline design is a single-subject experimental design in which an intervention is introduced sequentially across two or more independent baselines — behaviors, individuals, or settings — while outcome assessors (and ideally participants) remain unaware of which baseline is currently in the intervention phase. The double-blind procedural overlay reduces measurement bias and demand characteristics, strengthening causal inference beyond what a standard multiple baseline design offers.	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.
