Without the actual definitions in front of me I would say that cognition is the ability to understand something and psychology is the study of the way the brain reacts to stimulus. So the difference would be cognition is an ability to learn, while psychology is an attempt for someone else to explain how someone thinks.

The term cognitive Psychology refers to a branch of Psychology that focuses entirely on mental processes. It models the mind as a limited capacity processor. It also assumes there are processes between stimulus and response. This includes ordering, manipulating and storing information. These processes are together referred to as "cognition" which is why the approach is called "cognitive psychology."
