A related concept of thinking was developed by William James. It's called ideomotor action.

一个相关的思考理念是威廉姆詹姆斯提出来的。叫做动念动作。

Ideomotor action is an activity that occurs without our noticing it, without our being aware of it.

动念动作就是在我们没有注意到且无意识的情况下产生的活动。

James and others said that this is an idea leading to a motor action, and that's why it's called “ideomotor action” —an idea leads to motor activity.

詹姆斯和其他人认为，这个想法引出运动动作，所以它被称为“动念动作”——一个引出运动活动的主意。
