The term is used universally. And it's fairly unscientific itself. With the advent of fMRI, we have a great deal of ability to look at cognitive states. And differences in knowledge systems, belief systems, the transience of positions of truth, the influence of external stimuli, etc are all very important.
Maybe there's a way to avoid it. I'll keep looking. There is no need for cognitive science to define a term that is already defined and used in English language. Beyond that, you could argue that the lack of a definition in a field so focused on defining human s points to the fact that the general use of the word IS the definition. I wish you luck.

His initial hypothesis was that a fact was something a person thought was true and believed others also would think was true.
No kidding! Something accepted or considered to be true. The main difference here is that we can verify facts, but opinions and beliefs are not verifiable. Until relatively recently, most people would call facts things like numbers, dates, photographic accounts that we can all agree upon.
More recently, it has become commonplace to question even the most mundane objective sources of fact, like eyewitness accounts, and credible peer-reviewed science, but that is a topic for another day.
They are our personal reactions to facts and circumstances. Each one of us takes the information we receive, we filter it through our own personality and life experiences, and we form our own opinions and beliefs. It is interesting how our beliefs, our opinions, come to us in this very simple format. We gain some information, or perhaps something happens in our lives and we attach meaning to this information or event.
It now occupies a small dot on our map of the world. As our feelings around this opinion intensify, as we experience stronger and stronger feelings for the meaning we have placed on this event or this information, so we come to hold what we call a belief, which now inhabits a bigger piece of our map. One of the most important differences between opinions and beliefs is that opinions can be changed more easily than beliefs.
