alief
A primitive, subconscious belieflike attitude which may contradict one's conscious beliefs.
countable, uncountable
Abstract: I introduce and argue for the importance of a cognitive state that I call alief. An alief is, to a reasonable approximation, an innate or habitual propensity to respond to an apparent stimulus in a particular way.
Where it comes from
Apparently formed to contrast with belief, as if it were B-lief and this were A-lief.
