Individuals may combine their experiences in an additive and linear fashion, using subjective salience weights to increase or decrease the relative importance of different experiences [ 48, 57, 58].
Saliences related to increased activation during the auditory tasks include BA 19, which is a region typically thought of as unimodal visual cortex.
Dominant negative saliences (related to increased activation during visual tasks) were located in left middle frontal gyrus (BA 46), right medial frontal gyrus (BA 8), bilateral superior temporal gyrus (BA 22), left superior parietal lobe (BA 7), right cuneus (BA 19), and bilateral cerebellum.
A literature review was conducted to identify what cultural principles and practices could be used to increase salience, and what competition elements could have an impact on efficacy of smoking cessation.
Some protocols for helping children learn involve gesture, voice modulation and visual marking to increase salience of relevant information, and precueing the desired behavior at point of performance, which then permits immediate feedback – reinforcement – that can be integrated with the target behavior.
Well-designed interfaces use procedural and sensory cues to increase the salience of appropriate actions and intentions.
An obvious technique to improve target detection is to increase target salience, the feature contrast between the target and its surroundings (Itti & Koch, 2000; Theeuwes, 2010).
In a laboratory experimental study, 60 African American female participants were given feedback on a bogus IQ test under conditions designed to increase the salience of negative stereotypes.
However, if oxytocin mainly acts to increase the salience of social stimuli, it is expected to elevate levels of aggression following provocation.
In addition, we found that speakers used deixis in speech and gaze to increase the salience of gestures occurring in response to feedback.
