Revised Bloom's Taxonomy

• The names of six major categories were changed from noun to verb forms.

• As the taxonomy reflects different forms of thinking and thinking is an active process verbs were used rather than nouns.

• The subcategories of the six major categories were also replaced by verbs and some subcategories were reorganised.

• The knowledge category was renamed. Knowledge is an outcome or product of thinking not a form of thinking. Consequently, the word knowledge was inappropriate to describe a category of thinking and was replaced with the word remembering instead

• Comprehension and synthesis were retitled understanding and creating respectively, in order better reflect the nature of the thinking defined in each category.
