<p>我们的思想，是连续不断的认知组成的演变过程。
Our thoughts are evolving(演变） 【in】 a never ending process of <em>cognitive formation</em>(认知组成）.</p>

<p>I'm not really sure what he means with ‘认知组成’, so it is hard for me to translate.</p>

<p>Maybe he means: The things which we are aware of, which we perceive, provoke/cause our thoughts. This process goes on and on.</p>

他是这样陈述自己的见解的：“我们的思想，是连续不断的认知组成的演变过程。”

我们的思想，是连续不断的认知组成的演变过程。
Our thoughts are evolving(演变） 【in】 a never ending process of *cognitive formation*(认知组成）.

I'm not really sure what he means with ‘认知组成’, so it is hard for me to translate.

Maybe he means: The things which we are aware of, which we perceive, provoke/cause our thoughts. This process goes on and on.

and translate it, roughly, like:

Our thinking, is constituted [组成] by a constantly evolving cognitive [认知] process.

It's not “认知组成” as a set-phrase or even a connected phrase but just two separate words.

Your understanding:

absolutely works as well.
