Abstract
Analogical reasoning is a kind of reasoning that applies between specific exemplars or cases, in which what is known about one exemplar is used to infer new information about another exemplar. The basic intuition behind analogical reasoning is that when there are substantial parallels across different situations, there are likely to be further parallels.
