A person who looks at a sequence of 14, 12, 10, 8 and decides that the next two terms are 6 and 4 is doing deductive thinking. TRUE OR FALSE?!

OpenStudy (strawberry17):

Once you know what deductive means you will be able to tell if its true or false.

deductive in the dictionary means: based on reason and logical analysis of available facts.

Since the person saw that the sequence was going down by two, he did use deductive thinking because he was looking at the logical facts that the sequence was going down by 2.
