English translation:cognition
Explanation:
According to the Collins Spanish-English dictionary, this looks like just a fancy way to translate cognition/cognitive, and I translated it just that way in a social work text last week. This text is talking about normal cognition versus extrasensory perception, or ESP.

Spanish usage of the source term is much more frequent in the psychology and social work spheres than the English usage of its direct translation (cogniscible/ility et al), especially in academic language.
