I easily remember

Argumentation

The process of making a conclusion based on statements

A premise

A statement that gives information before making a conclusion and a conclusion is an outcome or a decision

The specific statements

Statements that refer to a particular case, while the general statements are statements that describe a concept

Deductive argument is a process of making a specific conclusion based on general premises

Inductive argument is a process of making a general conclusion based on specific premises

A valid deductive argument can be categorised into three forms

A valid deductive argument

All the premises and the conclusion are true

A valid argument

Based on the forms of argument, and not based on the truth of the premises or the conclusion

The strength of an inductive argument

Determined based on the probability that the conclusion is true, assuming that all premises are true

Three steps to carry out inductive reasoning

1. Observe some examples or specific situations 2. Observe the common features 3. Make a general conclusion

The given premises

The evidence or support to the conclusion made
