1. Remembering
Retrieving, recalling or recognizing knowledge from memory. Remembering is when memory is used to produce definitions, facts or lists or recite or retrieve material.
2. Understanding
Constructing meaning from different types of functions be they written or graphic messages activities like interpreting, exemplifying, classifying, summarizing, inferring, comparing and explaining.
3. Applying
Carrying out or using a procedure through executing or implementing. Applying related and refers to situations where learned material is used through products like models, presentations, interviews or simulations.
4. Analyzing
Breaking material or concepts into parts, determining how the parts relate or interrelate to one another or to an overall structure or purpose. Mental actions included in this function are differentiating, organizing and attributing as well as being able to distinguish between the components or parts. When one is analyzing he or she can illustrate this mental function by creating spreadsheets, surveys, charts or diagrams or graphic representations.
5. Evaluating
Making judgements based on criteria and standards through checking and critiquing. Critiques, recommendations and reports are some of the products that can be created to demonstrate the processes of evaluation. In the newer taxonomy evaluation comes before creating as it is often a necessary part of the precursory behavior before creating something.
6. Creating
Putting elements together to form a coherent or functional whole; reorganizing elements into a new pattern or structure through generating, planning or producing. Creating requires users to put parts together in a new way or synthesize parts into something new and different a new form or product. This process is the most difficult mental function in the new taxonomy.
