Which verbs are part of Bloom's cognitive process dimension?

• A. Observe, List, Recognize, Predict
• B. Remember, Understand, Apply, Analyze, Evaluate, Create
• C. Create, Phase, Manage, Conclude
• D. Remember, Repeat, Copy, Memorize

Answer: (B)

Bloom's cognitive process dimension outlines a progression of mental skills from recalling facts to producing new ideas. The sequence Remember, Understand, Apply, Analyze, Evaluate, Create matches the six canonical levels of this taxonomy, covering both basic recall and higher-order thinking: remembering facts, understanding meaning, applying knowledge, analyzing components, evaluating with judgments, and creating original ideas or products. The other options include verbs that don’t align with Bloom’s established levels or emphasize only lower-order skills (like rote memorization) or nonstandard terms, so they don’t represent the full cognitive process dimension.
