That’s usually called association or associative thinking.More specifically:Free association — when one thought spontaneously leads to another, sometimes in a surprising or seemingly unrelated way.Example:You think of a red balloon, which makes you think of a birthday party, which makes you think of your childhood friend, which makes you think of a rainy afternoon in 2004.Other nearby terms:Mental association — the general process of one idea triggering another.Train of thought — the chain of ideas that follows from one thought to the next.Reminiscence — if the second thought is a memory.Trigger — if the original thought strongly evokes an emotional memory or reaction.For your phrasing, the cleanest term is probably:“The thought triggered an association.”Or:“It sent me down an associative chain.”
