I am not sure what you mean by thinking verbs, maybe you mean state verbs.

It is not that one kind of verb is more effective than the other. Both kinds of verb are effective if used in the right context eg:

I ran the race. -- This sentence tells us 'I' took part in a race. Ran is an action verb.

I liked the race. -- This sentence tells how 'I' felt about the race. Liked is a state verb

Both verbs convey something about the race both do the job they are chosen to do, ran is not more effective than liked.

What is a behavioral verb?

Behavioral verbs are nothing less than the heart of learning objectives, which are in turn the core component of effective lesson plans. If defined and used consistently, such verbs are a highly effective way to indicate, and communicate to others, specific, observable student behavior. Behavioral verbs describe an observable product or action. Teachers and others constantly make inferences about student learning on the basis of what students do or produce. Valid inferences can only be made when there is little or no doubt regarding what is intended.

Would 'Does has is' be action verbs or linking verbs?

Active verbs show 'action', such as: I kicked the ball. I rode my bike. She called her mother. He lifted weights. Sally drove home. Linking verbs are 'passive' verbs. A passive verb does not DO any action. It links to the action, often by using a form of the word "be". Is, was, were, have, had are all passive verbs. In addition to thinking of these as linking verbs, you could think of them as lazy verbs because they point the way to action but do not do the action. I will kick the ball. I have ridden my bike. She has call her mother. He is lifting weights. Sally will drive home.
