概要	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 AB design is the simplest single-subject experimental design, consisting of two sequential phases: a baseline phase (A) in which the target behavior is observed under natural conditions without intervention, followed by an intervention phase (B) in which the treatment or manipulation is introduced. Changes in the behavior's level, trend, or variability between phases are used to infer the effect of the intervention on the individual participant.
