Remember
Remembering is the lowest level of learning in the cognitive domain in Bloom’s Taxonomy and typically does not bring about a change in behavior. It involves memorization and recall of information with no evidence of understanding. Learners absorb, remember, recognize and recall information. However, it is the building block of all subsequent levels of learning because the learner must remember information presented before progressing to the next levels.
