which was developed in 1956 (Invention by adults - Thought and knowledge). The six stages of thought that Bloom listed are knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation (Invention
by adults - Thought and knowledge). They are fairly self-explanatory: knowledge is the gathering of information; comprehension is understanding that information; and application is deciding how that knowledge applies to
us and our thought processes (Invention by adults - Thought and knowledge). The final three stages are a bit more complex: analysis "is a fundamental cognitive process because
it is the search for difference" (Invention by adults - Thought and knowledge). When we take things apart to see how they work - whether they are machines or
ideas - we are really looking for differences between this new idea/thing and those that we already know (Invention by adults - Thought and knowledge). Synthesis, though, is the
