"Thinking while speaking" is something I associate to speaking a second language that you don't really master. Then you really think in one language, think about the translation, and speak. If I speak in my native language or in English, I don't think about the words I'm saying or about how I'm using the language, there's a much bigger component of instinct and thoughts can be much more impulsive.
