Present Perfect vs. Present Perfect Continuous

When a non-durative verb is used and the action has completed thus, the cycle is closed, we are using present perfect tense. For example:

Elvis has left the building.

When a verb of duration, action continues and the cycle remains open, we are using present perfect continuous tense. For example:

He has been talking about losing weight for a long time.
