Escalating commitment is the phenomenon where people continue with a failing course of action because of their investment in it so far, despite the evidence that the course of action is not working. If Cristina is doing the same, she is falling into the trap of escalating commitment. Framing error refers to the way a problem or decision is presented, anchoring heuristic occurs when people rely too heavily on the first piece of information they receive while making a decision and Availability heuristic occurs when people make decisions based on readily available information.
