Editing Judgement (section)

==Psychology==
In [[cognitive psychology]] (and related fields like [[experimental philosophy]], [[social psychology]], [[behavioral economics]], or [[experimental economics]]), judgement is part of a set of cognitive processes by which individuals reason, make decisions, and form beliefs and opinions (collectively, judgement and decision making, abbreviated JDM). This involves evaluating information, weighing evidence, making choices, and coming to conclusions. Judgements are often influenced by [[Cognitive bias|cognitive biases]], [[Heuristic (psychology)|heuristics]], prior experience, social context, abilities (e.g., [[numeracy]], probabilistic thinking), and psychological traits (e.g., tendency toward [[Analytic reasoning|analytical reasoning]]). In research, the [[Society for Judgment and Decision Making]] is an international academic society dedicated to the topic; they publish the peer-reviewed journal [[Judgment and Decision Making]].{{citation needed|date=May 2025}}
