Just as knowledge had been changed to remembering in the revised version comprehension has now been turned into understanding an active process, Application is now thought as Applying. In the revised version the steps have categories of cognitive processes have transitioned to more of a "doing" aspect. Just like Application, Analysis has been switched to an active stage called Analyzing. However Synthesis has been reconceptualized as creating. Unlike in the original version where "synthesizing" was the second to top level, it is the very topmost level in the revised edition, and Evaluating has been moved to the second to last level. In the revised edition the steps are thought to be processes a person can move back and forth between. A major point that people don't pay mind to be that the revised version is not completely sequential. The higher order thinking skills; such as Analyzing, Evaluating, and Creating can actually be used to teach Remembering, Understanding, and Applying. Something new that came from the revised version are the creation of knowledge dimensions.
Knowledge Dimensions.
These took a great deal of consideration due to many possible knowledge dimensions. Four areas have been conceived as dynamic areas of knowledge; Factual, Conceptual, Procedural, and Metacognitive. The Factual and Conceptual are very similar to that of the original cognitive domain. However the Procedural dimension everything is thought to have a procedural aspect associated with it. The ability to regulate oneself is the new dimension the Metacognitive. Also associated with metacognitive knowledge to consciously grow, develop, and practice. Procedural Learning skills include; actions, procedures, and habits. These actions are non-declarative the proof is supposed to be in "doing". With this domain repetition, playfulness (deliberate play in early stages), slow acquisition, long retention are all important.
