What is abstract reasoning?
Abstract reasoning is a part of problem solving: the ability to understand a problem and what process is needed to find a solution. It involves knowledge and experience, and t…he ability to evaluate the concepts that are involved. People use abstract reasoning every day. Here is an example: If a tree limb falls on your roof, you may want to know the best way to remove it without causing further damage. You must know if it is safe for you to climb a ladder, and to walk on the roof, and about how heavy the limb is to lift. You would not want to fall through the roof yourself. You would want to get it to the ground without hitting any wires, or gutters, or lawn furniture. You might have to temporarily repair the roof, and do so in an effective way. You might need to cut the limb into smaller pieces to remove, or afterwards so that they can be carted away. All of these activities have to be considered before you can attempt to solve the problem - to just climb up onto the roof without any knowledge or planning could result in even bigger problems.
