Preferred term

salience  

Definition

  • Definition The term salient refers to anything (person, behavior, trait, etc.) that is prominent, conspicuous, or otherwise noticeable compared with its surroundings. Salience is usually produced by novelty or unexpectedness, but can also be brought about by shifting one's attention to that feature. [Source: Encyclopedia of Social Psychology; Salience]
