Fact Judgment and Psychology of Consciousness

Psychology of Consciousness is that branch of Psychology which is concerned with human consciousness, as a broader form of Cognitive Psychology. Psychology of Consciousness includes Cognitive Psychology, Faculty Psychology, Educational Psychology, Jurisprudential Psychology, Developmental Psychology, and Transpersonal Psychology. Fact Judgment is an interesting area of interest to Psychologists of Consciousness. Fact Judgment can be referred to as either a Cognitive Faculty or a Cognitive Function. Fact Judgment is based on the Cognitive Psychology of Bernard Lonergan. Lonergan argued that facts are known through a judgment of fact which involves a three fold cognitive process of Experience, Understanding, and Judgment. Fact Judgment takes place when the person forms an analogical judgment that his or her or hae sense experience is analogous to his or her or hae understanding. Thus, for example, a person can experience a Tree with sense experience, and then describe and categorize and compare the ideas resulting from that sense experience with understanding, and then judge that or conclude that the sense experience of the Tree and the understanding of the Tree are sufficiently analogous to form a probable judgment of fact, that the Tree is real or factually exists.
