认知 - 對某種事物或某種觀念點的深入認識和了解 (the ability to recognize and understand something, or concept in depth, usually through one's knowledge, training, or experience.) For example:

* 基於對科學的認知他極力反對迷信 - Based on his familiarity (深入認識) and understanding (了解) of science, he forcefully against superstitious practices.
* 由於我對他的認知,我相信他 - Due to my familiarity with him and deep understanding of him, I trust him.

**Add - Translation**

"我奶奶说过：“人们应该在最美好的时候离开。”因为这个认知而获得诺贝尔奖的，不是我奶奶，而是心理学家丹尼尔•卡内曼."

* My grandma ever said: "People shall know to leave at the most glorious moment/time". Because **a deep understanding (comprehension) of the meaning** behind this saying and receiving the Nobel Award wasn't my grandma, but the psychologist Daniel Kahneman.
