Reasoning: cognitive processes by which people start with information and come to conclusions that go beyond that information, deductive reasoning: any form of reasoning in which the conclusions follow with certainty from the premises. Inductive reasoning: any form of reasoning in which the conclusions follow only probabilistically from the premises. Given: you need at least a c average to graduate from college. Deductive conclusion: sarah graduates, so she has at least a c average (definite) Inductive conclusion: mike is now vp of a bank, so it is likely he graduated (probable)
