    Cognitive Intelligence (CI) can be defined as "The ability to learn new things, recall information, think rationally, apply knowledge and solve problems." (Kaplan & Sadock, 1991).

    I began studying the behavior of children over 30 years ago when I entered college as an Elementary Education major. In that time, there has rarely been a course that I have taken that does not, at some point in time, utilize the strengths and the model of Bloom’s taxonomy to some degree. I am almost certain that I have never been asked to look at the possibility of ‘weaknesses’ in Bloom’s theory before this. And, quite honestly I don’t remember ever questioning the validity of his entire model, until now.…

    4The first and most psychologically primitive step is recalling key terms, facts and events; or at least the ability to acknowledge this and store them into your memory. After your ability to recall the minor details, an understanding of these key terms, facts and events take you to the next level of critical thinking. This is the level of critical thinking where one would ask himself if he understand the material, and recite it back to someone in his own words. After understanding, the next step is application. The use of application takes an idea and utilizes it to produce a desired outcome. Beyond application is analysis, or the ability to break a concept down into parts for closer examination. Then is the evaluation of the critical thinking process; this is the step where we evaluate the validity or usefulness of the information presented to us. Finally, creativity tops the critical thinking process when we are able to develop something entirely new from the rest of the…
