To conjure the thought of one thing that reminds you of another. Which creates an ongoing process either to eventually return to the thought at hand or move onto something completely different.
Thinking that your thirsty, leading to what you want, to what brand, to what brand you like better, leading to another brand of something completely different such as clothes, than what brand you like, leading to you want to shop, than thinking of money that you dont have, leading to you need a job, etc etc
when i wanted to shop, chain-thinking went into effect and i forgot i had no money and needed a job.

"Röntgen Thinking" or "X-Ray Thinking", basically refers to thinking -- with the capacity to look into depths or hidden realities -- of an issue, event, or concept....or anything else for that matter, that can be thought about.
In simple words, people who think in a very shallow, lame or silly way, and think that they've understood things the superficial way, such as taking info off an untrusted or silly source, that too (generally) in little doses, when their ass is way too dumb to understand things for what they are.

Jim : Hey, you heard bout the Dubbly twins ?
Sam : No, what about them ?
Jim : Well, they're only 'identical' looks-wise! While Terence, who goes the Rontgen Thinking way, needs to take one look at any politician to understand what he really is, having known their history, backgrounds, past and everything else, all his twin brother Philip does is believe every political advertisement he sees and fart in approval! He's so lame, really.

The tendency for conservatives to think largely in terms of black and white for every single issue on the planet. Mostly a result of an absolutist religious upbringing, I believe.
An example,
Bob, a 43 year old loving father of two, with a spotless criminal record, assaults a sixteen year old girl. Everyone is shocked and puzzled. When caught, he has a nervous breakdown and is put in a mental institution. There, he undergoes various tests and scans. Doctors discover a giant tumor in the part of the brain responsible for sexual activities.
They remove it via surgery, and he's back to normal again. There's no doubt about it - from similar cases we can see that tumors in that part of the brain drive normal men crazy. What to do?

Liberal: After having considered all the evidence, I don't see any point in incarcerating him. He's not a threat. I fucking hate worthless child molesters but he clearly can't be held responsible for this. Probation should do, just in case I'm wrong. (though i doubt it)
Moderate: The science involved certainly seems to indicate that he's not responsible for this disgusting deed. Given his prior record, he doesn't seem like a threat. Still, I'm not totally convinced. A year in prison maybe? More testing, in any case.
Conservative: Why the fuck are we even talking about this? Tumors don't do anything anyway, that's just a THEORY! Has everyone lost their fucking mind, he attacked a helpless child! Stone him to death! Oh wait, I forgot that we don't live in Afghanistan or Iran. Well in that case, give 'im the lethal injection. Shit, that's not allowed for non-murderers? SHIT! I swear, liberals are bleeding this fucking country dry! DEATH TO LIBERALS!!! *waves rebel flag*
Conservative Black and White Thinking Disorder is a major problem in the US, sadly. Mostly as a result of religious faith.
For another example, see black and white thinkers.
