Differences in Student Performance on Knowledge, Comprehension, and Application Tasks: Implications for School Learning.
Lyon, Mark A.; Gettinger, Maribeth
Journal of Educational Psychology, v77 n1 p12-19 Feb 1985
This study examined differences in time needed for learning for three types of learning tasks from Bloom's taxonomy: knowledge, comprehension, and application. Seventh and eighth graders (N=88) were given five repeated trials to master three simulated classroom tasks. Large differences were found between tasks in mastery rates, information acquired, and retention. (BS)
