Reasoning
Abductive reasoning
"Abductive reasoning is the reverse of deductive reasoning and reasons from an observation to the most likely explanation. This is also known as “inference to the best explanation”. It is more selective than inductive reasoning, since it prioritizes hypotheses." [1]
Analogical reasoning
"Analogical reasoning is a kind of reasoning that is based on finding a common relational system between two situations, exemplars, or domains. When such a common system can be found, then what is known about one situation can be used to infer new information about the other." [2]
Deductive reasoning
Deductive reasoning “top-down logic” is the process of reasoning from premises to a conclusion.[1]
Inductive reasoning
Inductive reasoning “bottom-up logic” is the reverse process of reasoning from a single observation or instance to a probable explanation or generalization.[1]
