What is reasoning ?
It is also a kind of thinking but different from it, in the sense there is checking and re - checking of the conclusion arrived at based on certain facts so reasoning is defined as '' a process of arriving at a new judgement on the basis of one or more judgement,'' Reasoning is the mental activity used in and argument, proof, or demonstration, reasoning is generally associated with rules and methods and formal laws of logic but many people reason and argue without being consciously aware of it. For example when a dog comes back after seeing the master enter his car, when we expect a letter from a friend or turn to the gate on hearing a noise. We are thinking and reasoning without realizing it.
Reasoning is a way of solving a problem or meeting a new situation, perception imagination and memory are closely related to reasoning for the help is assessing the situation and find out alternate solution of the problem.
Inference is the act or process of deriving logical conclusions from premises known or assumed to be true.[1] The conclusion drawn is also called an idiomatic. The laws of valid inference are studied in the field of logic.
Human inference (i.e. how humans draw conclusions) is traditionally studied within the field of cognitive psychology; artificial intelligence researchers develop automated inference systems to emulate human inference. Statistical inference allows for inference from quantitative data.
