    Domain of learning

    A. Cognitive Domain

    The cognitive domain involves the development of our mental skills and the acquisition of
    knowledge. The six categories under this domain are:

    1. Knowledge: the ability to recall data and/or information.


    Example: A child recites the English alphabet.

    2. Comprehension: the ability to understand the meaning of what is known.


    Example: A teacher explains a theory in his own words.

    3. Application: the ability to utilize an abstraction or to use knowledge in a new


    situation.
    Example: A nurse intern applies what she learned in her Psychology class when she talks
    to patients.

    4. Analysis: the ability to differentiate facts and opinions.


    Example: A lawyer was able to win over a case after recognizing logical fallacies in the
    reasoning of the offender.

    5. Synthesis: the ability to integrate different elements or concepts in order to form a


    sound pattern or structure so a new meaning can be established.
    Examples: A therapist combines yoga, biofeedback and support group therapy in creating
    a care plan for his patient.

    6. Evaluation: the ability to come up with judgments about the importance of


    concepts.
    Examples: A businessman selects the most efficient way of selling products.
