1 ) deductive reasoning :
All cows are mammals
All mammals have hearts
So, all cows have hearts
2 ) Inductive reasoning :
Pau Gasol is an excellent basketball player. So, his children are going to be excellent basketball players as well.
3 ) Analogy by reasoning :
Assume that you are going to go buy a brand new car. You talk with your friends who recently bought new cars. They tell you that, they are delighted with the new cars they bought from New Cars. So, you are likely to conclude by analogy that, if you buy a new car from New Cars, you will be delighted as well.
4 ) Causal reasoning
A car is traveling at speed limit, and suddenly swerves and hits another car trying to avoid a kid who was threatened to run across the road. The people in car can argue that, the kid who ran across them caused them to change directions unexpectedly. The kid can argue that, his friends threatened him which caused him to do that action.
5 ) Criteria Reasoning :
Chef 1 : This dish must taste delicious .
Chef 2 : Then why don't we add some bay leaves, and cloves ?
6 ) Reasoning with examples :
In order for you to be successful in life, you must work a minimum of 10,000 hours in that field; Just like how Bill Gates and Kobe Bryant did (Gladwell , Outliers ).
7 ) Argument with signs :
Wayne is walking with out his crutches and is able to move his foot in different directions; He is showing signs of recovery.
Your post was really good. Not only was it very informative but it was very interesting because you used examples that I can relate to as well as I am interested in. I really enjoyed you example of Pau Gasol and how you related that Pau Gasol is a good basketball player then his kids would be good basketball players. Another good example that I thought you did was the example of Kobe Bryant and Bill Gates and how they work 10000 hours in each of their fields. These were well thought out and informative ways to explain both Inductive Reasoning and Reasoning by Examples.
