Blooms Taxonomy
Bloom's Taxonomy is a set of three hierarchical domains (cognitive, affective and psychomotor) used to classify educational learning objectives into levels of complexity and specificity. A goal of Bloom’s Taxonomy is to motivate educators to focus on all levels in their coursework by building a learning path for the student.
In the original version of the taxonomy, the cognitive domain was broken into six levels of objectives. In the 2001 revised edition (below), the levels are slightly different: Remembering, Understanding, Applying, Analyzing, Evaluating, Creating (rather than Synthesize).

Bloom's Taxonomy for Affective Domain
The affective domain (Krathwohl, Bloom, Masia, 1973) includes the manner in which we deal with things emotionally, such as feelings, values, appreciation, enthusiasms, motivations, and attitudes.

Bloom's Taxonomy for Psychomotor Domain
The psychomotor domain (Simpson, 1972) includes physical movement, coordination, and use of the motor-skill areas. Development of these skills requires practice and is measured in terms of speed, precision, distance, procedures, or techniques in execution. Thus, psychomotor skills rage from manual tasks, such as digging a ditch or washing a car, to more complex tasks, such as operating a complex piece of machinery or dancing.
