Additional Information:
Deductive and inductive reasoning refer to two distinct logical processes. Deductive reasoning is reasoning from the general to the particular (or from cause to effect) All dogs are animals; this is a dog; therefore, this is an animal. Inductive reasoning is reasoning from detailed facts to general principles. All gum he has chewed is sweet; therefore, all gum is sweet.
