When we solve a problem by finding a similar problem with a known solution (and then apply it),we are engaged in:
A)deductive reasoning.
B)insightful solutions.
C)analogical problem solving.
D)heuristic reasoning.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is the definition of analogical problem solving, where we use a solution from a similar problem to solve the current problem. Deductive reasoning is a process of logical thinking, and insightful solutions are those that come suddenly, without any logical reasoning. Heuristic reasoning would involve using trial and error or a rule of thumb to solve a problem.
