What Is Conditional Reasoning?

Conditional reasoning is a term frequently used in Psychology. It is a special type of logical reasoning, which depends on conditional statements. For example, if you take a glass, then a diamond can surely make a scratch over it. The logic here is simple: if x, then y. Here x is the antecedent and y is the consequent. Many more examples can be given in this respect. For example, if more ice is melt in the North Pole, more people will be drown. Now, it's your time to think about different conditional reasoning.
