Question

Need help in Psychology. Please help! Which of the following statements best describes abductive reasoning? A.I think,therefore I am. B.No man is an island. C. Correlation does not imply causality. D. People perceive objects as a whole. I think it's D but not positive.

Answer 1

The "D) People perceive objects as a whole" statement best describes an abductive reasoning. The abductive reasoning often has incomplete information as the base of its reasoning and the conclusion for this type of reasoning is not absolute. There will always be additional pieces of evidence and factors that could change the conclusion of this reasoning. Therefore D statement is the most suitable answer.
