Cognition is a simple ability to grasp things. It is the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses

Cognition is a more technical term, used in the biological sciences. I never hear it in everyday conversations. On the other hand, I hear intuition (or intuitive) used rather often.

She's very intuitive. I use my intuition when I buy something.
