It's a pity that we do not know the author's intent and have to go for a pick'n'mix from a dictionary.
If we go for moral+judgement as category+noun 'a sensation of right/wrong pertaining to a decision' we might be talking about the 'conscience' threshold e.g. confidence vs. feelings of guilt / shame, i.e. cognitive ease vs. cognitive dissonance. In other words: harmony vs. discord. The ease/harmony would be a range between a baseline and a threshold both of which are likely to be variables due to continual updates from sense-data.
It probably is something worth considering that 'beliefs' could be described as 'the overriding concept that maintains conditions that arise from events'.
If we go for moral+judgement as noun+verb 'deciding on the value of a lesson (story or experience)' then our answers could be 'useful', 'not useful' and/or 'might be useful later'. This would be 'information as input' and does not require any pre-defined, pre-considered or even unconsidered beliefs other than in the sense of 'novelty-detection'.
