Abstract
This paper introduces the grouping principles of Gestalt in motion. The motion attributes of speed, direction and duration are embedded in two events: transformation, meaning the act of changing in appearance, and transposition, meaning the act of moving position in space. In extending Gestalt principles from 2D, the following investigations will be visually demonstrated. 1 What is “closeness” in time that can explain proximity in motion? 2 What is “likeness” in time that can explain similarity in motion? 3 What is “absence but presence” in time that can explain closure in motion? 4 What is “correspondence” in time that can explain common fate in motion? 5 What is “steadily recurring” in time that can explain good continuation in motion? 6 What is “symmetry” in time that can explain symmetry in motion ? This demonstration provides the framework on which subsequent research on Gestalt in motion will be based.

Translating and Extending Gestalt Grouping Principles to Include Time to Establish a Research Framework in Which to Study Motion.
This paper introduces the grouping principles of Gestalt in motion. The motion attributes of speed, direction and duration are embedded in two events: transformation, meaning the act of changing in appearance, and transposition, meaning the act of moving position in space. In extending Gestalt principles from 2D, the following investigations will be visually demonstrated. 1 What is “closeness” in time that can explain proximity in motion? 2 What is “likeness” in time that can explain similarity in motion? 3 What is “absence but presence” in time that can explain closure in motion? 4 What is “correspondence” in time that can explain common fate in motion? 5 What is “steadily recurring” in time that can explain good continuation in motion? 6 What is “symmetry” in time that can explain symmetry in motion ? This demonstration provides the framework on which subsequent research on Gestalt in motion will be based.
