comment What is the term for judging based on a simulation of the same parameters on oneself
My first thought after reading the title was that it related to the literature on egocentric judgment, but after reading the full question, it seems to be more about moral judgments in particular, which that literature has not focused on as much. Is it accurate to say that what you are interested in is judgments from the moral domain?

comment How to assess participant awareness of experimental deception without inducing awareness?
Also, people sometimes use these procedures to probe separately for awareness of the manipulation vs. awareness of the experimental hypothesis, in cases where the distinction is potentially of importance (like in some learning research).

comment How to assess participant awareness of experimental deception without inducing awareness?
Sort of. Part of the idea is that if a participant never spontaneously mentions the thing you're probing for until you ask about it point-blank, it may be more safe to assume that they didn't really notice it or at least didn't think much of it. On the other hand, indicating it on one of the first couple of questions would be a big red flag.

comment What are some of the drawbacks to probabilistic models of cognition?
This isn't really a proper answer, but you may find informative the following BBS paper criticizing Bayesian models of cognition: Jones M., Love B. (2011). Bayesian fundamentalism or enlightenment? On the explanatory status and theoretical contributions of Bayesian models of cognition. Behav. Brain Sci. 34, 169–188.
