== Ensemble Coding Defined ==

David Whitney and Allison Yamanashi Lieb developed an operational and flexible definition stating that, “...ensemble coding should include the following five concepts:

Additional theories in vision science propose that stimuli are represented in the brain individually as small, low resolution, icons stored in templates with limited capacities and are organized through associative links. <ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=xGJ_DxN3eygC&oi=fnd&pg=PA411&dq=The+iconic+bottleneck+and+the+tenuous+link+between+early+visual+processing+and+perception.+&ots=VtUSEGXtvE&sig=7Q6FbzFnbGsHP6ngmn2b8xpFD98#v=onepage&q=The%20iconic%20bottleneck%20and%20the%20tenuous%20link%20between%20early%20visual%20processing%20and%20perception.&f=false|title=Vision: Coding and Efficiency|last=Adler|first=K.|last2=Pointon|first2=M.|date=1993-05-13|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=978-0-521-44769-0|language=en}}</ref> <ref>Neisser, U.

== History ==

Throughout its history ensemble coding has taken on many names. Interest in the topic began to emerge in the early 20th century. <ref name=":6" /> In its earliest years ensemble coding was known as Gestalt grouping. <ref name=":6" /> In 1923, Max Wertheimer, a Gestalt theorist, was addressing how we perceive our visual world holistically rather than individually. <ref>Wertheimer, M. (1923). Untersuchungen zur Lehre von der Gestalt. Psychologische Forschung, 4, 301-350.</ref>
