The word "deduction" is most often associated with the name of Sherlock Holmes. Indeed, the deductive method is great for detectives. It is useful, however, to other people. The ability to draw conclusions and reason logically will not hurt anyone.
Necessary
- Tasks in mathematics, physics;
- textbooks;
- puzzles;
- logical tasks and the like.
Instructions
Step 1
In order to master the deductive method, read as many books as possible. In this case, it is important not even what to read, but how to do it. Take your time, try to ponder the content of the work, pay attention to the details, remembering them.
Step 2
When you learn to read slowly, thoughtfully, you can proceed to the next stage of training. Compare the literary work with others similar to it, look for similarities and differences. Remember to what historical era it belongs, try to find in it a reflection of the reality of that time. The more you think, the more likely you are to develop deduction.
Step 3
Write down everything that happened to you during the day in a diary. Try to assess your actions by answering the questions: "Why did I do this?", "What led to this situation?", "What are the options for solving the problem?" Sequencing events and recalling details requires increased brain work, which is exactly what is necessary for the development of mental abilities.
Step 4
No matter how strange this statement may seem, you can develop deduction with the help of fortune telling on runes or tarot cards. After all, the fortuneteller is engaged in nothing more than decoding symbols, trying to find relationships between them and explain the meaning of the alignment as a whole. The process of such prediction often takes place using the deductive method.
Step 5
Solve logic tasks and puzzles. Don't tackle the most difficult ones right away. You are unlikely to be able to find the answer on your own and use someone else's help, and this, as you understand, will not bring any benefit to your mind. Start with simple tasks and gradually work your way up to more complex ones. This, by the way, will help you learn to evaluate your abilities and respect your discipline.
Step 6
If you get tired of solving puzzles - come up with them. This way you will not only train your brain, but also help other lovers of logic exercises - and this is a commendable business!
