Analogical reasoning is based solely on inductive reasoning. One example of analogical reasoning is: Premise 1: Males are humans. Premise 2: Daniel is a male. Conclusion: Daniel is human.
Sign reasoning is another way of reasoning that deals with the relationship between two things. The thing about sign reasoning that is different from any other reasoning is that the two things are very closely related and they go hand in hand. You then have to decide if the relationship between the two things is strong or not. One thing that many people have to deal with in the winter is rain and an example of sign reasoning is "where it rains, you use your windshield wipers."
Causal reasoning is another variety of inductive reasoning but in order to have causal reasoning you must have a cause and effect. You must use inductive reasoning in order to determine that from the cause, the effect will occur. Many students deal with lots of homework and sometimes they must turn in late work so an example of causal reasoning is that "if you turn your homework in late, you will not receive full credit."
Criteria reasoning is a type of reasoning used in a situation that is not very logical and you state your criteria in a way that can be assumed as true. An example of this that many people deal with is with peer pressure and trying to get your friend to do something. Instead of saying "ask her out" you would say "you should go ask her if she would go to dinner with you because I heard that she think g you are really cute and really likes you."
Reasoning by example is when a person gives an example in the favor of their argument in order to convince the other person that their argument is correct. An example of this type of reasoning is telling your buddy that he should ask her to dinner because once he had a friend who didn’t go after the girl that he liked and he regretted for years after.
Deductive reasoning is when the conclusion cannot be false based on the premises. An example being, "everybody over the age of 16 can have their license, Sarah has her license, therefore Sarah is over 16."
Inductive reasoning is when the conclusion can be inferred from the premise. An example of this being, "Ever since I was born a green light meant go and a red light meant stop." From this premise a person can assume that if they come to a stoplight a red light means stop and a green light means go"
