The activation and transfer of knowledge from permanent memory to working memory where
it might be consciously processed. Retrieval of information as either a matter of recognition or
recall.
THREE RETRIEVAL PROCESSES
Recognition-
Students recognize feature of information but do not necessarily understand the structure of
the knowledge or differentiate critical from non critical components.
Recalling-
Students will be able to produce features or information (but not necessarily understand the
structure of the knowledge or differentiate critical and non-critical components).
Executing-
Students will be able to perform a procedure without significant error (but not necessarily
understand how and why the procedure works).
LEVEL 2: COMPREHENSION
(Cognitive System)
Integrating-
Students will be able to identify the basic structure of the information, mental procedures or
psychomotor procedure and the critical as opposed to non-critical characteristics
Symbolizing-
The student will be able to construct an accurate symbolic representation of the information,
mental procedure or psychomotor procedure differentiating critical and non-critical elements.
LEVEL 3: ANALYSIS
(Cognitive System)
The recent extension of knowledge and generation of new information not already processed
by the individual.
Matching-
Classifying-
Analyzing error-
Generalizing-
Specifying-
(Cognitive System)
Using accumulated knowledge to tackle problems, develop new products and deal with
unfamiliar situations.
Decision Making-

thoughts.
Specifying goals-

Process Monitoring-
Students monitor the execution of specific goals as they relate to the knowledge.
Monitoring Clarity-
Students determine the extent to which they have clarity about the knowledge.
Monitoring Accuracy-
Students determine the extent to which they are accurate about the knowledge.
Examining Importance-
Students identify how important the knowledge is to them and the reasoning underlying this
perception.
Examining Efficacy-
