Even though I understand the fundamental premise, the multifaceted nature of implementation poses significant challenges, particularly in evaluating the correct phase lengths and degree of criterion shifts. Klein et al. (2015) attest that CCD is applicable whenever instant and large-scale behavior change is unwanted or impractical. Instead, CCD facilitates the gradual shaping of behavior. It achieves this by setting progressive objectives and making systematic adjustments. Nevertheless, it is challenging to identify the number of criterion shifts necessary to demonstrate experimental control. I also struggle to demonstrate how to efficiently alter the degree of shifts while preserving clinical utility and internal validity. Utilizing at least three criterion shifts and modifying phase lengths would facilitate effective reinforcement of internal validity (Klein et...
