요약	A pilot single-subject experimental design (pilot SSED) is a small-scale feasibility trial applied to one or very few individuals, combining the repeated-measurement logic of single-subject experimental design with the explicit preparatory aims of a pilot study. It is used to test an intervention protocol, measurement procedures, and design logistics before committing to a full-scale single-case or group experiment.	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.
