Some definitions
Adaptive reasoning may also refer to the adaption of thought processes problem solving strategies, conceptual framework, in response and anticipation of the changing nature of the problem being considered.
- "Adaptive reasoning refers to the capacity to think logically about the relationships among concepts and situations and to justify and ultimately prove the correctness of a mathematical procedure or assertion. Adaptive reasoning also includes reasoning based on pattern, analogy or metaphor."[1]

- "The ability of an agent to intelligently adapt its behavior, both short-term and long-term in response to the changing needs of its problem-solving situation"[3]
