Answer: Prejudice is cognitive and discrimination is a behavior.

Explanation:

When a person is prejudiced against people, it means that they hold thoughts or attitudes that are negative about those people. In other words, prejudice is in the mind and is therefore cognitive meaning a person can choose to act on it or not.

Discrimination on the other hand, is the behavior of treating people differently based on the negative feelings one might have against someone. This is what makes it different from prejudice, it is a behavior whereas prejudice is cognitive.
