Analogical reasoning is any type of thinking that relies upon an analogy. An analogical argument is an explicit representation of a form of analogical reasoning that cites accepted similarities between two systems to support the conclusion that some further similarity exists.

Here's examples of objects that incorporate using Analogical thinking.

Sofa Bed
Sofa Bed means literally a sofa and a bed combined together. This is more convenient and space saving especially for small houses like the HDBs in Singapore. It's purpose is to serve as a sofa in the day especially when there's guests and a bed at night.


Chair Shelving Table
This is another space saving furniture. It serves as a table and/or a shelving display unit and can be separated and have chairs separately most probably to accommodate guests or be use as a dining table or can be used as a work desk too.


Soup Bowl with Chopsticks holder
A must have for especially us Asians. We our love for instant noodles, this is a convenient way to eat and place the chopsticks while waiting for it to cool down or if we have to take a short break for example getting a glass of water.



There's a never-ending lists of the objects that incorporate Analogical Thinking. It's amazing how many of these inventions we have and so readily available to make our everyday lives more convenient and also more interesting.
