B. S. Bloom had proposed a taxonomy in 1956 which was named after him as 'Bloom' s taxonomy to study the classification of thinking behavior in the process of learning. Bloom's taxonomy consists of a hierarchical model of three domains where the cognitive domain was primarily focused.

  • Cognitive domain: Those educational objectives are included that are concerned with knowledge, recognition, recall, and cater to the development of intellectual abilities and skills.
  • Affective domain: The objectives which are related to the domain of interests, attitudes, and values bring about desirable changes in the same included in this domain. 
  • Conative or psychomotor domain: ​This domain helps in the development of skills. The training of physical activities is the main objective of this domain.

Key Points

  • The cognitive domain of Bloom's taxonomy was knowledge-oriented. 
  • The original version of this taxonomy had proposed six stages in the cognitive domain in 1956 which were revised in 2001. The old classification is elaborated below with the use of an image:
  • The major category is prominently changed into verb forms instead of nouns. 
  • It has shown a paradigm shift in three parameters namely  terminology, structure, and emphasis
  • The revised version of the cognitive domain was presented from the lowest level to the highest level. The lowest level was remembering and the highest level was creating. 
  • The highest level of this domain is creating that includes combining or incorporating the elements to form the functional whole, compiling or devising the elements, and designing them in a way to form a new pattern of structure.  
  • The given keywords like categorizes, combines, compiles, composes, creates, devises, designs belong to the domain of creating.


Hence, it can be concluded that option 4 is correct.

Additional Information

  • 'Remember' is one of the stages of the cognitive domain that involves retrieving information, recognizing, and recalling relevant knowledge from long-term memory. 
  • 'Understand' is one of the stages that includes driving meaning from oral, written, and graphical messages. It is done through exemplifying, investigating, classifying, summarizing, and explaining the information. 
  • 'Apply' is one of the stages of the cognitive domain that involves a process to execute or use the information.
  • 'Analyse' is one of the stages of the cognitive domain that involves breaking material into constituent and simpler parts, to determine the relationship between these parts and with the overall structure.
  • 'Evaluate' is one of the stages of the cognitive domain that involves drawing conclusions, making judgments based on criteria and standards through checking.
