Hi. Intuition is what may drive you. In the situation where outcome is not clear or not predictable and you can choose instinctively the right thing without even knowing how.

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.

One is a verb, and other is a noun. No, they have not.
