'A thinking cap' was previously a variant of the idiom 'a considering cap'. That term has gone entirely out of use now but was known since at least the early 17th century, such as in Robert Armin's Foole upon foole, 1605:

"The Cobler puts off his considering cap, why sir, sayes he, I sent them home but now."
