Testing the Simplex Assumption Underlying Bloom's Taxonomy.
Hill, P. W.; McGaw, B.
American Educational Research Journal, v18 n1 p93-101 Spr 1981
In an attempt to resolve conflicting conclusions arising from an investigation of the validity of the claimed psychological properties of Bloom's taxonomy, the LISREL method was applied to the data of Kropp and Stoker. The simplex assumption was supported when the knowledge category is deleted from the taxonomy. (Author/RL)
