A small-N design that involves providing treatment and then removing treatment is known as a reversal design. This design is used to demonstrate whether or not the treatment is causing the changes in behavior since the behavior should revert back to baseline once the treatment is removed. In an interrupted time-series design, the treatment is provided continuously and there is no removal of treatment. In a stable-baseline design, the baseline is stable with no intervention. In a multiple-baseline design, the treatment is introduced at different times for different participants, behaviors, or settings.
