Your definition seems sensible to me. Humans are not bayesians, they are not built as probabilistic machines with all of their probability being put explicitly in the memory. So I usually think of Bayesian approximation, which is basically what you’ve said. It’s unconscious when you don’t try to model those beliefs as Bayesian and unconscious otherwise.
