These words are both present, active, infinitive verb forms, and the meanings overlap. However, they are not exactly the same. 'Cogitare' means to think, reflect, intend (t0) while 'cognoscere' means to recognize, learn, find out.
Either word could work in the context of the sentence, and the choice depends on the nuance of the activity.
