Answer:

Critical thinking

Explanation:

Critical thinking is a process of deep analysis, evaluation, and synthesis of facts and evidence that will lead to the formation of well-thought jugdement.

In this case, Christina is not analysing in a critical way because she believes the first thing she hears/reads without evaluating the sources, evidence, and facts that lie behind the claim that "the consumption of orange juice triggers hyperactivity in children."

In order to form a judgement, she would have done research that provides evidence to this claim to actually accept it.

Therefore, the correct answer would be: Christima was NOT demonstrating <u>critical</u> thinking.
