It is not how much brain you have, but how you use what you have that is important! There are many people who are technically geniuses, but who never apply themselves and never really do more than coast through life. Cognition, or thinking, is much more important than raw intelligence. A person who can think logically and rationally can work out a solution to most any problem, whereas a lazy "intelligent" person would not be able to because they would not know how to use the brain they have!
Intelligence encompasses cognition. Cognition is the method by which people assimilate and integrate knowledge, while intelligence is both the assimilation of knowledge as well as the ability to apply such knowledge, i.e. the proficiency one has in a given area.

Process theories of intelligence focus on how a person uses his cognitive abilities to solve problems that confront him as compared to content theories which talk about structure of cognition/intelligence. Process theories describe the underlying processes involved in the application of cognition/intelligence to solve problems

Piaget called the first stage of cognition sensorimotor intelligence because during this stage, infants primarily learn about the world through their senses and motor actions. They develop basic understanding and behaviors based on sensory experiences and physical interactions with their environment.
non-intellective factors are those that do not involve cognition like age, gender,attitudes, emotional intelligence and many others.

In HCI, cognition refers to mental processes such as perception, memory, attention, and decision-making that users engage in when interacting with technology. Understanding how users think, learn, and solve problems is important in designing user-friendly interfaces that align with cognitive processes and capabilities. By incorporating principles of cognition into interface design, designers can create more intuitive and efficient systems for users.
