The ABAB design, also known as the reversal design, involves an initial baseline phase (A), an intervention phase (B), a return to baseline phase (A), and a second intervention phase (B). It cannot be effectively used for behaviors that do not return to baseline after the intervention is removed, as the design relies on observing changes when the intervention is introduced and then withdrawn.
