            cognitio is an abstract word for the act through which one acquires knowledge.

            nosse and notitia refer to the merely receptive state of the mind which is informed of something.

            scire and scientia refer to a more active and creative state of successful cognition coupled with an element of coherent understanding, and such scientia is not normally acquired by chance.
