I believe this is a really important question – and I think you’re asking it of a group who probably should reflect on the answer more than just a little. I’d like to take a stab at providing you an “off-the-cuff” response for you and maybe revise it later depending on the time frame you have to gather this portion of your data.

I think that “judgment” is recognition of circumstances, a conclusion reached and a decision made, leading to an action, or a series of lesser such “recognition – conclusion – decision – action” processes. I think this process involves routinely and regularly utilizing all of the knowledge, skills, and experience gained up to a given point (where the “judgment” is necessary); bringing these factors into focus and allowing the recognition to take place; utilizing conscience thought to examine the appropriateness of the contemplated action – willing to accept “good” as a quick and effective alternative to “perfect” – and initiating the action. And, I believe that the discriminator is conscience thought – not reflexive action.

I would be curious to see what your research reveals. Best of luck.
