Why call the taxonomy's categories artificial?

  1. Real tasks mix several processes
  2. Learners do not use recall at all
  3. No verbs can describe a level
  4. Teachers cannot assess any level
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Real tasks mix several processes

1. Critics say categories can be seen as artificial. 2. Real cognitive tasks often involve several processes at once, so sorting them into single labels can hide their interconnected nature. 3. The other options claim things the source does not say. _Source: Wikipedia, Bloom's taxonomy, Criticism of the taxonomy_
