Samenvatting	The single-blind ABAB design is a single-case experimental approach that sequences two baseline phases (A) and two intervention phases (B) to demonstrate experimental control over a target behavior, while keeping one party — typically the outcome assessor or the participant — unaware of current phase assignment. This blinding procedure reduces observer bias or demand characteristics, strengthening the internal validity of the reversal logic.	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.
