Human beings will often reason from the specific to the general. that is, people often form general rules and concepts based on
specific experiences and examples. this type of reasoning is termed as: deductive reasoning. retrospective reasoning. inductive reasoning. descriptive reasoning.
Inductive reasoning, also popularly known as the inductive method, is nothing more than an argument or reasoning that is based on a premise of a particular character, but which ultimately comes to a conclusion of a universal character.
The process of inductive reasoning is one by which, taking into account a series of particularities (individual and personal premises), one reaches a generalization, that is, something universal and no longer unique.
