Morphology
The phrase combines 'cognitive' (relating to mental processes) with 'content' (information), so its meaning—information or knowledge contained in a mental state or communication—is directly compositional from the parts. There is no idiomatic shift or metaphorical extension, and the construction is cross-linguistically transparent, so a learner who knows both words can infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Cognitive content comes from the idea that cognitive means 'thinking' and content means 'what is inside', like a box in your mind full of ideas, images, and facts. So, cognitive content is 'what a thought or message actually means'.
