요약	The single-blind AB design is a single-subject experimental design that combines the two-phase AB structure — a baseline phase (A) followed by an intervention phase (B) — with assessor or observer masking. The individual collecting or rating outcome data is kept unaware of which phase is being measured, preventing knowledge of treatment status from biasing behavioral observations or ratings. The design improves on the standard AB design by reducing detection bias while retaining the practical and ethical advantages of single-subject methodology.	The multiple baseline design is a single-subject experimental design that demonstrates functional control by introducing an intervention at staggered time points across two or more baselines — typically across different behaviors, individuals, or settings. Because no withdrawal of treatment is required, it is especially suitable when the target behavior is irreversible or when removing an effective intervention would be unethical.
