- Gestalt Principles
- The contemporary synthesis by Wagemans, Elder, Kubovy, Palmer, Peterson, Singh, and von der Heydt (2012) reviews a century of empirical work confirming that grouping operations operate as parallel, automatic, field-level transformations from stimulus elements to organized perceptual wholes.

Domain-specific¶
- Common Fate
- This inference is ecologically justified — in the natural world, elements that move together are usually parts of the same rigid or cohesive object — and shared motion is a powerful grouping factor, though the modern review literature treats it as combining with the other cues in a graded, probabilistic way rather than simply overriding them
This sourceThe review carries the back half of this sentence exactly — common fate as a powerful grouping factor whose effect is graded and probabilistic, combining with the other cues rather than overriding them — while the ecological rationale in the opening clause is the article's own; the review's worked ecological rationales are for proximity and for common luminance change, not for motion.
