Common Fate
From elements that move in the same direction, the perception is that they are stronger connected than elements that move in different directions or elements that are stationaire.
The radar shows how to use the principle of common fate for airplanes that are grouped with their information on identity and flight direction.
The principle of common fate is part of the gestalt principles of perception. The original work on common fate is "Untersuchungen zur Lehre von der Gestalt" by Max Wertheimer in the magazine "Phychologische Forschung" of 1923. The idea is that elements that move together in the same direction, are percepted as a separate group or chunk. People believe that these elements are stonger connected with each other than elements that move in a different frequency or in different directions.
 A row with randomly ordered X's and O's that stay on the same place, are naturally grouped according to similarities, X with X's and O with O's. But is certain elements in the row make a movement and other elements in the opposite direction, then the elements are no longer grouped to similarities but on the base of their common movement and direction. Make sure that you use common fate as a group strategy if you design information or interfaces with moving or blinking elements. Elements that should be connected have to move on the same time, with the same speed and in the same direction or blink in the same time, with the same frequency and the same intensity. It is possible to group elements if the variables are different, but only if the movement or blinking forms a recognisable pattern. If elements move within bordered area's, then the edges of the area's move in the same direction in order to form a figure or in opposite direction to form a background.
