Reasoning and memory

on December 1, 2015

RLS:
“which day did she come here? is it the 14th or the 15th?”
“She came here for three days, today is the 17th.”
Sometimes memories will confuse us, as time pass by some memories will become unclear and we are not sure if it is reliable or not. I think reasoning might be a good way to check out. In the RLS I mentioned before, people could use different areas of knowing for reasoning, math is an area of knowing. Sometimes a detective would reasoning to test whether the situation described from a witness is true or not.
There are two types of reasoning, inductive reasoning and deductive reasoning they are both based on logics.
Sometimes memories could cheat us but logic and reasoning cannot.
