"salient item" is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
You can use it when you want to highlight something important or noteworthy that stands out from a group. For example: "The most salient item in the report was the estimated cost of the project."
These results, in line with Guided Search Theory, show that efficient and rapid preattentive processes guide attention towards the most salient item, allowing to reduce the number of attentional shifts needed to find the target.
We expected that due to a focus on objects and their attributes that is characteristic of analytic processing, Westerners would tend to fixate on the most important or salient item in the stimuli – the object, and show longer dwell times per fixation in order to extract featural details.
Fs-target trials were more efficient and this suggests that fs-distractor trials were due to a failure of top-down attentional control to direct the first saccade away from the salient item, which was known to be a non-target.
It is known that the N2pc varies in amplitude between the upper and lower visual fields such that N2pc amplitude is greater when a salient item is presented in the lower visual field compared to the upper visual field (e.g., Luck et al., 1997).
When the decoy is relatively salient, it is likely that participants will first select the salient decoy and then subsequently select the target because the competition for representation is initially biased towards the most salient item in the display [1], [14] [15].
Thus, despite individual differences in the likelihood of executing a saccade to the target versus the salient distractor first, fs-distractor trials represented instances where automatic bottom-up selection of the salient item won the competition for attention despite prior knowledge of its task-irrelevance.
To compare and contrast clinician, patient, and caregiver perspectives to generate all important and salient items for a new scale to measure medical consequences relevant to adult patients with dysphagia.
The criteria for component extraction were (1) an eigenvalue ≥ 1, (2) a satisfactory result on Catell's scree test[ 16], (3) four or more items with salient loadings (i.e., ≥0.4), (4) reasonable internal consistency for the unit-weighted salient items (i.e., ≥0.7), and (5) adequate parsimony (mutually exclusive assignment of items to factors).
One explanation for the patient group exhibiting fewer saccades on average when compared to the controls could be the degradation of peripheral vision, meaning the patient struggles to detect the most salient items around them and, subsequently, struggles to initiate saccades towards these regions.
Global is the salient point.
That is not the salient point.
