Counterfactual reasoning and learning systems: the example of computational advertising (2012, background): “The common cause principle (Reichenbach, 1956) formalizes a fundamental intuition about causation: if two events are correlated, then the first event causes the second event, or the second event causes the first event, or the two events have common causes.”
Predicting the Past from Minimal Traces: Episodic Memory and its Distinction from Imagination and Preservation (2020, background): “My argument is conditional on a widely accepted assumption about the relation between causal and probabilistic dependencies that is expressed by what has become known as Reichenbach’s Common Cause Principle (Arntzenius 2010; Reichenbach 1956)(17):”
Causal knowledge and categories: the effects of causal beliefs on categorization, induction, and similarity. (2001, background): “However, in an important disanalogy with the common-cause schema, the common-effect schema does not imply that the three cause attributes will be correlated (Reichenbach, 1956; Salmon, 1984; Waldmann, Holyoak, & Fratianne, 1995).”

Confirmation, Heuristics, and Explanatory Reasoning (2003, background): “Departures from common sense here can give rise to the egregious fallacy of inferring the truth of an explanation merely because it is the only one on offer (Salmon [2001a], pp.”
