Thoughts are causal of course.  Ultimately they can make muscles or servo motors do work in the world.  My theory of thought (see my web site www.robert-w-jones.com, cognitive scientist, theory of thought and mind) is an attempt to describe the details of this activity; causal changes to some type of memory/recording, physically comparing the contents of  buffers, creating and storing new memory patterns, etc.
