Morphology

neurocognitive = cognitive (transparent) = neuro + cognit + ive

The word is transparently formed by adding the combining form neuro- to cognitive, with a directly compositional meaning.

Etymology

Neurocognitive combines neuro- meaning 'nerve' or 'brain' and cognitive from a root meaning 'know', like in 'recognize'. So neurocognitive describes the brain's work of 'thinking', 'remembering', and handling information.
