Reply to comment by Kayzokun in ELI5: what does "salience" mean? by CoatedGoat

Thank you for your effort, but I still don't see how I can fit this in my text.

Maybe you could post the whole sentence then? Hard to give a good translation without context

Ok, hear me out:

“Salience is the noun form of the condition of being salient. It may also be used to call something a highlight, or a definitive attribute.

Saliency is a synonym for salience and there is no difference between the two. Salience is more popular, being used slightly more than three times for each saliency. The exception is in the business world, where saliency is used as a term for brand awareness; in other words, the degree to which the brand sets itself apart from competition.”

So, how would that be in terms of addiction? Could it be similar to an obsession?

Well, I sincerely don’t know, without reading what are you reading. But I suppose, based on what I understand, is an obsession with a specific game over other games. But I don’t know for sure, sorry.

Thank you for your help though!

I think my brain might just be blocking the understanding of this word because I'm set on a translation I can't find.
