Introspection — An unmediated judgment that has as its intentional object a current psychological or phenomenal state of one’s own.
Discrimination — The capacity to attentively single the state out from amongst the other experiences that one has at the time in question.
Categorize — To categorize a phenomenal state is to locate it within a taxonomy of some kind.
Directly and indirectly introspective judgments — A direct introspective judgment concerns the phenomenal character/content of one’s current phenomenal state(s) and is grounded in a single act of introspective attention, whereas an indirect introspective judgment concerns the general nature of one’s conscious experience and is not grounded in a single act of introspective attention.
Scaffolded judgments — An introspective judgment is scaffolded if and only if it is accompanied by a disposition to make a first-order judgment (e.g., a perceptual judgment) whose content broadly corresponds to the judgment of the introspective judgment. For example, the judgment that one has a visual experience as of a red tomato in front of one is scaffolded insofar as it is accompanied by a disposition to make the perceptual judgment that there is a red tomato in front of one.
Freestanding judgments — An introspective judgment is freestanding if and only if it is not accompanied by a disposition to make a first-order judgment (e.g., a perceptual judgment) whose contents broadly corresponds to the judgment of the introspective judgment.
