is a form of reasoning that teaches one about something but does not teach the intuition. It teaches a student, for example, 'about' language, but it does not teach him how to speak it.

is an argument from rule or law (i.e. Height leads to success) whereas induction is an argument from observation (i.e. Tall boys seem to have more success).

is like induction a way of approaching an argument, such that any deductive argument can be reformulated to be inductive.

Any inductive argument can also be expressed deductively, and any deductive argument can also be expressed inductively' (NET)
