Epistemology · Internalism vs. Externalism about Justification

Reliabilism

A justified belief is one produced by a process that yields truth at a high rate.

What it claims

Reliabilism defines justification as the reliability of the belief-forming process. Beliefs produced by processes that yield true beliefs at a high rate, such as perception, memory, and sound reasoning, are justified. The subject need not know or be able to cite that reliability.
