Which domain is associated with mental processes such as knowledge and understanding?

• A. Physiological
• B. Cognitive
• C. Psychomotor
• D. Affective

Answer: (B)

The mental processes like knowledge and understanding belong to the cognitive domain. This domain focuses on thinking and knowing—remembering facts, understanding concepts, and using that information to explain or apply ideas. The other domains cover different aspects: physiological relates to bodily functions, psychomotor to physical skills and coordination, and affective to emotions, attitudes, and values. So, when the emphasis is on thinking, comprehension, and reasoning, the cognitive domain is the best fit.
