Combining the two classifications yields four possibilities:
1. Immediate conception: directly grasping coldness.
2. Inferential conception: learning a complex concept through definition and thought.
3. Immediate assent: recognizing that two is half of four once the quantities and relation are clear.
4. Inferential assent: accepting a conclusion on the basis of premises and argument.
The first division asks, Is judgment involved? The second asks, How is this cognition obtained?
Thus it is false that all conception must be immediate and all assent inferential.
