Thinking humanly and Thinking rationally are concerned with thought process and reasoning.

Thinking Humanly

Defn: The exciting new effort to make computers think machines with minds, in the full and literal sense.

If we are going to say that a given program thinks like a human, we must have some way of determining how humans think. We need to get inside the actual workings of human minds. There are two ways to do this: through introspection--trying to catch our own thoughts as they go by--or through psychological experiments. Once we have a sufficiently precise theory of the mind, it becomes possible to express the theory as a computer program. If the program's input/output and timing behavior matches human behavior, that is evidence that some of the program's mechanisms may also be operating in humans. 

Thinking Rationally

DefnThe study of mental faculties through the use of computational models.

The laws of thought are supposed to implement operation of the mind and their study initiated the field called logic. It provides precise notations to express facts of the real world.

It also includes reasoning and "right thinking" that is irrefutable thinking process. Also computer program based on those logic notations were developed to create intelligent system.
