Rezumat	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 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.
